    The bigger context for this story is that South Korea give striking doctors an ultimatum - return to work or face having medical licenses revoked. With thousands now facing license revocation in order to continue protesting overwork and low wages in the country's largely private healthcare system. Despite being well paid, junior doctors often work up to 100 hours a week, resulting in them making less than minimum wage. Increasing the amount of doctors won't fix the structural issues of for-profit healthcare.
