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.

I thought that too, and then noticed he's wearing orange and started to figure it out.

Ugh. We caught a kid doing that in my high school library last May. We radioed for help. The campus supervisor walked him outside, talked to him about it, and sent him back to us to finish the test he was working on. I couldn't believe it. Later, we told admin about it and had to write witness statements. He was a freshman and said it's what he does at home when he's sitting around, and didn't realize he was doing it. None of the students know, as far as I'm aware. We all kept it very quiet.

There are three subreddits I miss after leaving reddit, and one of them is r/freefolk.

Brando Sando has answered the question a bunch of times, and said he's not interested at all. Also, GRRM previously said he would never allow it to be finished by anyone else. Who knows? Maybe the publisher will force it.

Those were a little too intense for me. The acting was phenomenal and the story drew me in, but it was too much tragedy porn for me. Daredevil was also pretty dark, but not like Jessica Jones and Luke Cage

I love the music for both and both games were part of my teen life, and I replayed Ocarina of Time a lot more... but I agree with FF7. Nobuo Uematsu is incomparable.

Oh good call! I bet you're right!

For you and anyone else who missed it:

"And I gotta tell ya; I can't wait to debate this guy," Walz continued, before pausing for dramatic effect. "That's if he's willing to get off the couch and show up. "See what I did there?"

The crowd was roaring. I'm not sure if he really paused for dramatic effect. They wouldn't have heard him if he had said it right away. But either way, it was very funny.

Literally same. I've gone back and looked at it a few times, and I can't see white and gold anymore. I think my brain broke.

 

It was frightening, and all too familiar. The family had previously been forced to flee as a wildfire bore down on another mountain town they called home: Paradise.

Now, with their path blocked and a horizon swallowed by flames, Kristy had an eerie feeling they were going to lose all they’d fought to build.

“I kind of knew then, like, we’re never coming home again — again, again,” she said.

The Camp fire, the deadliest in California history, devastated Paradise in 2018, consuming thousands of homes, including the Daneaus’.

They relocated to the town of Cohasset, putting them in the direct path of another wildfire, one that has since become the state’s fifth largest on record. Within just six years, the family again found themselves in jeopardy.

The trio eventually made it to safety, trekking seven hours down an unpaved loggers’ road to Chico. But their home in Cohasset was no match for an inferno’s fury.

“We’re starting completely over, again,” said Michael Daneau, 41. Every property they’ve ever owned has “burned to the ground with no value and nothing to our name.”
