Only 294 of over 9,000 South Korean doctors on strike have returned to work
Thousands of South Korean trainee doctors have defied the government's pressure to end their walkout by tonight and return to work. As the deadline looms, health authorities are seeking their first talks with the striking junior doctors. Only a mere 294 trainee doctors -- out of the more than 9,000 -- have returned to work so far.
