UK doctors call off strike action

A junior doctor holds a placard during a strike outside St Thomas' Hospital in LondonThe British Medical Association (BMA) had planned a full withdrawal of labor by junior doctors on Oct. 5-7 and 10-11, Nov. 14-18 and Dec. 5-9, which would have been the longest stoppages in the nearly 70-year history of the National Health Service.
