Doctors in hospitals throughout France have been called on to strike today and then refuse to work evenings and nights. The movement was started by anaesthetists but is supported by most branches.
Shortages of staff, excessive hours, low pay are all points of discord and the government has promised a new structure and finance, but doctors claim it is continually delayed.
In practice some operations may be postponed, but continuous care will be assured. It may pay to check with your hospital if you have a scheduled operation this week.
