#like look. doctors in here are often terrible and rude and greedy. hospitals will milk you to death. but this?

[blackknight-100]

The doctors in Kolkata have once again resumed their protest and strike.

Honestly, with every passing day I become more and more bewildered and frankly quite unsettled with whatever is happening with the doctors' in here. These people are forced to do so much just to feel barely safe/comfortable at their job, and the healthcare infrastructure is all but collapsing, but no one in the corridors of power have managed to settle this: neither the state government (although, admittedly, they were compelled to accept the first set of demands and the protest was temporarily called off), nor the central, nor the courts, nor anyone else.

Meanwhile, the common people are suffering because things have gone from bad to worse, and I imagine the doctors themselves feel terrible not being able to help when they have the skills to do so, and all this hue and cry while the apparent criminals in the case are nowhere close to getting nabbed so what even is happening?

A girl was murdered after a brutal assault and inhumane torture, and her colleagues allege being threatened and harassed and being beaten up by bereaved relatives, and people are dying because again, healthcare is horrible, and like... nothing. They're treating it like every other scandal with a corrupt politician, with some hoping it'll blow over soon enough, and others milking it on and on for their own selfish reasons, and Durga Pujo is upon us. How sustainable is this? How long will this go on?
