When medical staff puts "their foot down and refuses to work" patients will suffer. Most feel bound by the Hippocratic Oath[1], in some countries violation of it can be reason for stripping you of your medical license (e.g. in Germany, even though I'm not aware of any case that was handled based on the Oath - you probably violate much more concrete laws if you break the Oath). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocratic_Oath https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocratic_Oath
