Around 160 resident physicians at New York City's Elmhurst Hospital Center went on strike over pay, making them the first doctors to do so in the city since 1990, according to their labor union. The doctors-in-training are employed by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital and claim they are being paid about $7,000 less annually than their peers at the main Manhattan campus. Initially dubbed as the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Elmhurst Hospital Center was one of several city hospitals to become overrun with patients.
