Should we the ordinary

joe soaps of the world, Show more support to the Jr Doctors of Britain in their currant plight.
Im watching this on the news and I feel sickened over the last few days the way the media are vilifying the doctors who are fighting unjust expectations on an already overworked and under payed work force.
Hearing things like
"Theresa May told doctors to stop “playing politics”"
Sounds like an upper class twat telling the working class to know their place. roll eyes

Sure its Low of the medical profession to hold people to emotional ransom to justify the ends of its argument. But its Just as bad for people to think they should not. That they should work without voice,
no matter what the burden.
Could this contract be the proverbial straw that breaks the back of the nhs beast of burden.

and if so will we see the same trend go global..
All I know is that the business of sickness is a multi billion industry,
and where business is involved people are secondary be they doctors or patients wine

Hi Non, IMO they knew the working conditions before they became doctors and they are paid very well for it, I work for myself but know people that are employed and have to do over time and work week ends and still for the same hourly rate where as these doctors want more money for over time and working week ends,.......cheers wave
Junior doctors are expected to work unsustainable hours for little pay.
That isn't beneficial to profession nor patient.
Fair points scotty, thumbs up beer
Hope you are enjoying the weekend.
Sure am Non,...cheers
mollybaby,
Thats the way I see it too but perhaps its a wrong point of view,
Would be great to hear from some in bthe profession first hand dunno
It doesn't benefit anybody but the 'machine', so therefore it's wrong.
I tend to agree molly,
Like I said people are second to profit.. wine
"sickness is a multi billion industry,

That is the real problem. The entire medical industry needs to be deregulated to allow competition in. Who gives someone else the power to decide what medical treatments I can have and who can offer them. If I want to pay a bum on the street to perform a surgery on me, that should be between him and I, not between me, a bureaucrat and his business cronies.
The people that give us that power are the ones we elect in for Government or Congress,.....cheers
rockingchair,
I see truth in your words,
Perhaps the over regulation comes from the ba5tard insurance companies that seem to have a stranglehold on every facet of society from kids running in school yards to people having opinions on social media if you can be sued for it regulate it.. or ban it sigh
Scott, often the choices aren't worth choosing between.

Look at the US. I don't envy them having to choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
And theres nothing we can do about it apart from downing tools and bring the country to a stand still which will never happen,....wine
There is a wind of change.

Maybe just a light breeze yet, but it will reach gale force if not heeded,
I dont vote and I give out about all the idiots.
And by not voting I know all the problems of the country are partly my responsibility. I did not give that responsibility away by playing their game.
£76K?

I'm expected to put in the hours needed to cover my workload. At times in the past this has run to 50 hours or more a week. I don't get overtime because my basic salary is too high to warrant overtime.

I'm earning a LONG way off £76K

STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE very mad
It is terrible that unions who are paid a lot cannot negotiate instead bringing docs out on strike.

I have worked the seven day week system my last 10years of working life, for a lot less money, I mean a lot less.

The last strike these greedy young pups were laughing and shouting like a rabble whilst people who had arranged cover for working life so they could have op. CANCELLED.

40% of docs voted so how come they can go on strike.

Unions are using workforce as pawns to discredit government, Police, then firemen etc. If you want to vote the government out do it democratically.

To hold people and sick people to ramson so government caves in is diabolical.

They have been given 10% base rate rise, who else has received that in years??

What disrespect for good Doctors who went before them, who worked all hours for good of sick people for nowhere near money they receive now.

Its greed and disgraceful.
