On the 103FM program, Eyal Berkovich and Arel Segal clashed over the departure of doctors from Israel.

He made a serious allegation that wounded soldiers at Rambam were left with only an Arab medical team, and called on the Health Ministry and the PM to address it. Segal disputed his figures, saying that 10 out of 30 is not a majority.
On the 103FM radio program, Arel Segal and Eyal Berkovich clashed over the departure of doctors from Israel and the shortage of Jewish doctors. Berkovich warned of a "brain drain" and referred to the claim that wounded soldiers at Rambam were left with only an Arab medical team. Segal reminded Berkovich of data he presented on his program on "Channel 13 News," saying: "You said 10 out of 30 doctors left the country and claimed that's a majority, which means you were wrong or you lied. 10 is not a majority." Berkovich replied: "I'll tell you what I meant, I meant that today I hear about many doctors leaving the country. The rate of leavers from the top decile rose by 80%, that's concerning. The brains are fleeing the country." Segal responded: "People abroad are removing mezuzahs from their homes. Where will people flee to? It's a bad statistic, but already in the 1970s they asked here who would turn off the lights." Later, Berkovich raised a serious claim regarding the treatment of wounded soldiers in hospitals. "I spoke with a guy who said that wounded soldiers arrive at Rambam and they are left with only an Arab medical team. There's a problem here, there are no Jewish doctors, I beg the Health Ministry, PM, handle this matter." Additionally, the article quoted a story Berkovich wrote about his brother who was seriously wounded in Lebanon, hospitalized with three fellow fighters, and at night a new shift speaking Arabic arrived, removed the families, and locked the doors, leaving them alone all night.
