Amid the imminent deadline for returning medical students to 40 universities, the medical community continues to say, "Go back to school now." Lee Dong-wook, chairman of the Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Association, who is considered a hardliner in the medical community, appealed in a doctor's group chat room on the 24th, "If you don't have a plan to help medical students in crisis (such as pay and expulsion), it is an adult's duty to ask medical students who have a strong future to stop (refusing to take classes) and go back." Kang Seok-hoon, a professor at Kangwon National University Medical School, also said on the 24th, "I don't know why adults should be responsible and why innocent students should be harmed."

However, the medical association, a representative organization, is showing an irresponsible attitude without a clear position. The Korean Medical Association said, "We cannot tell you to go back to your original position when the core of the situation has not been resolved." Whether to return to school is 'decide on your own'. At the same time, he is considering asking the government and universities to "give us more time." Chairman Lee Dong-wook's criticism of the medical association's leadership, saying, "If it's your child, can you do that to medical students?" also pointed out the selfish behavior of taking students as hostage.

It is true that some practitioners, who are the main members of the medical association, have benefited from the parliamentary conflict. It gained reflective profits from the influx of patients from university hospitals to local hospitals, and the burden of labor costs was reduced as the number of resignation majors flocked. This is why it is pointed out that the struggle is passed on to medical students and is sitting on the sidelines. Medical doctors are re-employed, but medical students do not have a medical license, so it is difficult. This is why medical students should not be reluctant to return for fear of "traitor stigma."

The expulsion of medical students soon becomes a reality. Yonsei University and Korea University Medical School closed their registration on the 21st, but decided to remove them on the 28th after persuading them to return. Seoul National University Medical School, which closed its registration on the 27th, is being detected to return to the school as 66% of students said they approved of registration in a survey the previous day. The single battalion has been broken, but mass expulsion may occur. The medical association should no longer hide behind medical students and continue its cowardly silence. What the medical association should do is not to stand by and avoid, but to mediate, resolve, and take responsible actions on the premise of returning to medical students.
