When Real Life Meets Grey’s Anatomy Drama
South Korea’s hospitals are getting backup from an unlikely source: military doctors! The government announced Monday it’s sending armed forces medics to support overburdened emergency rooms, as a strike by young doctors continues to strain the healthcare system.
Strike Sparks ER Chaos 
Interns and resident doctors walking off the job have left major hospitals scrambling. While officials deny claims of a \"system collapse,\" Vice Health Minister Park Min-soo admitted ERs are operating on reduced hours and staff. But here’s the twist: 15 military docs will hit the ground first, with 235 more rotating through crisis zones starting September 9.
\"Not Collapsing\" vs. \"Code Blue\" Alerts 
Medical school professors fired back, warning that ERs are failing to provide regular care and that the collapse has already begun. It’s a classic showdown between government assurances and frontline warnings – like a K-drama plot, but with scrubs instead of soulmates.
