It is a total shame that doctors who received free education right up to the university, unlike in other countries, have failed to serve their Mother Lanka. They have turned out to be greedy and ungrateful. They have betrayed their Hypocratic oath. Shame on you! If they go on strike they should be forced to pay back all the costs of their university education to become doctors. Infact such strikes by all Emergency Services should be made illegal by an Act of Parliament. Their Unions should be punished by Court by stiff pernalties.
