Strike at DMCH

Strike at the DMCH by interns was unexpected. The strike was called to protest alleged misbehaviour by the relatives of a man who had died half an hour after his admission in the hospital. But the alleged misbehaviour was not a good reason to call a strike. The doctors in their bid to protest what they deemed unfair, themselves indulged in activities which were a stark violation of the norms of their noble profession. As a result 10 patients have died (report from BBC) and 2000 patients were deprived of emergency medical care. What were the interns trying to achieve through inflicting such punishment on the innocent treatment seekers? Where is our humanity? This question is obviously relevant.
