Specialists call for general practitioners to join walkout
In Los Angeles a 21 day doctors strike widens as specialists urge general practitioners to stay out Thursday and Friday. Spokesman Dr Layman Holloman says primary care physicians should intensify the slowdown to pressure the state government. About 40 percent of Los Angeles County’s 12 000 doctors are GPs, many in private practice. Closure of private offices would burden county public hospitals already overloaded. Non emergency care and elective surgery have been severely cut back across 101 of 234 private hospitals.
