Egypt Doctors Strike For Better Wages, Services
2012-10-02
[Ynet] Egypt's doctors' union says the country's physicians have gone on a partial strike, abstaining from offering non-emergency services in public hospitals to protest run-down facilities and meager wages.
O clever ones! Your government is surviving on promises of borrowed money, hunger and disease are already spreading, and you choose to remove the only skilled help available? The Horsemen of the Apocalypse call their grooms to saddle the horses, so you, with your knowledge and training, choose to run and fetch them, that they may be sooner on the road.
Mohammed Abdel-Hamid, who is a spokesman for the union, said Monday that over 70 percent of the country's 520 public hospitals took part.

#2  "to protest meager wages"

Is this a suggestion that some higher paid social servents feel their earnings should reflect the recent inflation of food prices?
What and who next?
