Elmhurst Hospital Faces Doctor Strike Threats.

More than 150 resident doctors at Elmhurst Hospital Center in Queens, New York City, went on strike on Monday, the first physician strike at a hospital in the city in over 30 years. The doctors are protesting against low pay and lack of hazard pay during the pandemic. The striking doctors, many of whom were still in medical school in 2020, say the pandemic has encouraged activism and organizing. The strike is not expected to result in major disruptions to care, but it is heavy on symbolism.
