It's unfortunate to see this downvoted because I've heard this sentiment echo'ed a lot and I think it's worth explaining. It's not about the illegality, it's really just about people dying. Yes you can go on a strike but your patient that's in critical condition won't survive on principle. You could say "just don't care about the patient and strike anyway", but that's extremely hard to do. Striking when it hurts some millionaire owner is one thing, you wouldn't feel bad about yourself. Striking when it hurts someone post-op who did nothing wrong aside from being sick isn't noble, you get to live with the fact that as an individual you could have saved them, yet you didn't because you wanted money.
