One hundred and fifty doctors who formed this assembly voted overwhelmingly for a strike in protest at working conditions. These are not about pay but have to do with pressures on doctors who complain, among other things, that they do not have sufficient time to attend to individual patients. They want the health service "to make real efforts" to attract more doctors.
The Simebal doctors union will now call a meeting of its executive and make a final decision and set dates and conditions for a strike which, assuming it does go ahead, will start some time in January.

I assume they have agreed to THEIR HYPOCRATIC OATH. Which striking action is totally illegal.
Should I die when the Doctor is on strike. And I die because I could not get Dr's attendance that could have prevented my death. Can my Family sue the offending Doctor for being unavailable ,when urgently needed to prevent my death?. Will all the Hospital Doctors etc be on strike¹ at the same time?.
On the topic of attracting more doctors, how about removing the insistence that they all speak Catalan. Surely a good level of Castellano is sufficient. Too many have lost jobs because of this.
