Police raided the homes of doctors accused of drawing up a "blacklist" of interns and resident doctors opting out of a walkout protesting the government's decision to increase the medical school enrollment quota, officials said Friday.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency sent investigators Thursday to search the residences of five doctors accused of sharing a list of trainee doctors not participating in the walkout and derisively referring to them as "true doctors."

The post, which was uploaded to "medistaff," an internet community for doctors in early March, also contained personal information of the listed doctors.

Those raided included another doctor who allegedly shared a list of public health doctors dispatched to hospitals to fill in for the striking doctors, officials said.

Police plan to seize their mobile phones and computers to look into why they uploaded such posts. (Yonhap)
