Lee Nak-yeon, chairman of the New Democratic Party, said, ”The medical chaos is a tragedy brought on by a government that lacks common sense” (South Korea)

On the 9th, Lee Nak-yeon, the leader of the New Democratic Party, commented on the medical chaos, "This is a tragedy brought on by a government that does not have the common sense to know that administration does not work as well as a revolution."
In a post on his social media account titled "Another reason why the medical crisis is so serious," Lee said, "I felt this keenly after visiting the hospital for several days. I want to express this."
Lee said, "I have chosen medical care as one of the future industries that will support Korea after semiconductors. There are two reasons for this. First, there are not only outstanding human resources in this field, but also young people.
"The current medical chaos is a nationwide medical vacuum and confusion that is affecting the health of the nation and the lives of the people," he said.
"It is threatening lives. That is a serious problem," he said. "But there is something equally serious. It is destroying the medical system and medical personnel that we have taken pride in all at once,
This is because it is destroying the medical industry that we had hoped for as a future industry. Now, in the field, the medical professionals such as resident doctors who were trained with great effort are leaving Korea, and the medical system that we built up with our hearts and souls is being destroyed.
"The reality of the medical system today is anti-medical and anti-national," said Lee. "The beginning of this situation was the sudden increase of 2,000 students, which is 65% of the total number of students admitted to medical schools.
"It all started with the reckless idea of recruiting people," he said. "I hope that even now the government and the medical community can start talking about everything and put an end to this medical chaos as soon as possible. I want to immediately protect the health and livelihoods of the people.
"We must protect lives and preserve the promising future of healthcare. We must not turn our backs on the dire reality that medical staff are leaving and the healthcare system is collapsing," he said.
He also appealed, "I would like to say to the Yoon Seok-yeol government, I want you to remember the teaching from the Chinese Tao Te Ching that goes, 'Even when governing a great country, one should boil a small fish.'"
