	Description:		Health Minister Simeon Brown has scolded senior doctors in a take-no-prisoners address to their annual conference in Wellington today. In his speech, he accused them of crossing an "ethical line" for choosing strike action, and said they were putting politics before patients. But his words were met with groans, laughter and cries of disbelief from the couple of hundred specialists packing the room - some of whom will be walking off the job again next week over deadlocked contract negotiations. Ruth Hill was there and sent this report.
