Empty Hallways

· A full week has gone by since the beginning of the hospitals strike against the government. The hallways have become very empty, sometimes totally barren at points in the day. The people who can afford to pay for care out of pocket are few and far between, and decreasing. It seems as if each day there are less and less patients to see, thus less and less work to do. My last three days at work have been cut nearly 3 hours short each, due to the limited work available. So far there has been no news of any future resolve. For now, the hospital intends to remain on strike until they get reimbursement from the government. No one knows exactly how long it will take, but we are all hoping for sooner rather than later.
