Everybody out??

How do you feel about the junior doctors' strike?  They've just held their second one, with promise of more to come.  Me - I don't know.  I'm sure I am being fed misinformation by both sides, and so I feel I haven't enough facts to make an informed decision.  What I do know though, is that all these doctors will have taken the Hippocratic Oath, which states in part "I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures which are required..." and if I were a doctor, I would find it difficult, if not impossible, to reconcile that with deliberately failing to perform my duties.
