Residents Strike Back: Residents and interns in Haiti's largest hospital are on strike:

All 75 resident doctors walked off the job last week because the government has not paid their salaries for three months, said Albert Camille Archange, director of the General Hospital in the capital, Port-au-Prince.

The doctors, who make about $145 a month, extended the strike Tuesday after the government ignored their demands. The hospital's 65 interns were also on strike out of solidarity with the residents.
