From one of the cited articles in the study:

Despite the government’s continued conciliation, the return of majors is still a long way off. According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, only 879 (8.4%) of the 10,509 residents of 211 training hospitals actually went to work as of the 30th of last month. Based on 100 training hospitals, only 714 out of 9,992 people (7.1%) are working. “The Ministry of Health and Welfare recently sent an official letter to the heads of training hospitals across the country to meet with doctors to confirm their intention to return to the hospital and their future career,” said Jeon, a controller. “If you look at the institutions that submitted related data, the response rate for returning majors is less than 10 percent.”

Existing doctors see this as competition and a threat to their livelihood. They are already well paid in Korea, so it’s just the doctors being greedy.

None of this is true.

There are a lot of problems in the Korean medical system. Here’s a journal report discussing a few of the key points: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)00766-9/fulltext

Here’s a longer article going into detail why the residents are so upset.

Basically, there are a lot of problems with the South Korean healthcare system, leading to unsafe public health situations. Instead of actually trying to fix any of the problems, the government decided to significantly increase the number of residents each year (throw more people at the problems), criminally prosecute them for mistakes, and also tell them it might be illegal to quit, so they’ll just take their whole medical license away. Like 90% quit and said they’re not coming back. There was a suggestion that the government, instead of completely revoking resigning residents’ medical licenses, may remove their ability to work in hospitals ever again, but allow them to work in rural clinics because they’re already so understaffed and no one wants to live in the middle of nowhere for shit pay… unless the only other option is to find a new field of work and waste all those years of med school.

38H (UK sizing) here.

I still don’t go braless even in winter because they hang low, and that embarrasses me. Existing at all embarrasses me, so take that with a grain of salt.

They were all pretty close to the books except that they cut out a lot of the pointless bickering that kept happening all the time, so I’d blame JK Rowling for those.

You’re really busy today.

They are, and normally I’d agree with you, but they just recently legalized abortion and that SHOCKED me. So who knows?! Mexico might do anything!

That was super fascinating! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain!

How do you get into that line of work??? Not because I want to, just morbid curiosity. I’m too squeamish.

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I remember seeing it on reddit, but never knew why.

This is honestly genius, and something I need to get much better at doing.

That’s one of the biggest reasons why I don’t. I was angry I had to start logging in to visit those.

I played that game obsessively over two days and got through ending E, and it absolutely destroyed me. I was depressed for weeks.

Thank you for the link! That was deeply satisfying to watch. The camera quality is so good.

Probably also the country of Ukraine, our ally that was invaded by Russia.

China was first. This is from March: https://www.reuters.com/world/china/time-money-love-china-brainstorms-ways-boost-birth-rate-2023-03-15/

You’re right; he didn’t specifically say that. He called a Twitter post that said Jewish people hate white people was “so right.” And that’s a big Neonazi thing.

So… he didn’t say Hitler was right, just that a major Nazi tenet is.

Oh. That’s one of those words I’ve only ever read (generally in brit lit), and thought it was pronounced as row like row a boat. Thank you for the correct pronunciation!

I want a cat just so I can call him Bumbleboobs.
