An absurd quest is what the editorialist calls the efforts of Dominican Medical College president Waldo Ariel Suero, after President Leonel Fernandez classified the doctors as ordinary citizens who would have to wait their turn for a salary increase. The push being made for more work stoppage at the hospitals is also ridiculous because they have been told a thousand times that there is not enough money to give them what they want. The editorialist says that they could, for example, decide not ever to return to the public hospitals, abandoning the hundreds of sorry folk who crowd the emergency rooms to their fates during these strikes, but not even this extreme gesture of inhumanity, this vile treachery of the Hippocratic Oath will get them what they are asking for with such bad manners. What next?
