One January morning in 2021, Carol Rosen took a standard treatment for metastatic breast cancer. Three gruesome weeks later, she died in excruciating pain from the very drug meant to prolong her life. Rosen, a 70-year-old retired schoolteacher, passed her final days in anguish, enduring severe diarrhea and nausea and terrible sores in her mouth that kept her from eating, drinking, and, eventually, speaking. Skin peeled off her body. Her kidneys and liver failed. “Your body burns from the inside out,” said Rosen’s daughter, Lindsay Murray, of Andover, Massachusetts. Rosen was one of more than 2...

South Korea’s government will take final steps to suspend the licenses of striking junior doctors next week, officials said on Thursday. The medical workers have so far refused to end their walkouts despite the impact on the country’s medical services. More than 90 per cent of South Korea's 13,000 medical interns and residents have been on strike for about a month to protest the government’s plan to sharply increase medical school admissions. Their strikes have caused hundreds of cancelled surgeries and other treatments at hospitals. South Korea, with its rapidly ageing population and low doct...

They call patients regularly and follow up if anything appears awry. If needed, they can change a patient’s medication or dosage without f...

The walkouts have severely hurt the operations of their hospitals, with numerous cancellations of surgeries and other treatments. Government officials say adding more doctors is necessary to deal with South Korea’s rapidly ageing population. The country's cur...

They say the number of doctors in the country relative to the size of the population is among the lowest in the developed world. As ...

The action comes after a third round of negotiations with the federal ...
