Angry german doctors take to the streets

Another in Germany's public sector strikes hit the Berlin streets last Friday - this time angry doctors from across the nation gathering to express their dissatisfaction with the introduction of increased bureaucracy in the medical sector.
Police estimates state that 30,000 doctors gathered in front of the Berlin Town Hall to demand a rethink of medical regulations being introduced by Chancellor Merkel's government. The regulations, currently being discussed in Germany's Bundesrat, increase medical reporting and other paperwork requirements for doctors to an unacceptable level, according to spokesmen for the group.
The protest on Friday was the official start of a week-long protest starting today. Throughout Germany, thousands of practices remain closed. al
