It sounds like there's some room for nuance here, and of course I'm somewhat sensitive to the history of government use of force against organised labour in South Korea, but it's difficult to see this as anything other than these doctors holding patients hostage to artificially suppress competition, and thereby inflate their pay packets, and it seems like everybody is losing, even in some ways the doctors themselves. It's hard to read the article and not be left with at least some feeling that you'd be about ready to see some of them start going to jail if you lived there.
