Some thoughts on this doctors strike:
- the hippocratic oath they took is clearly meaningless
- if you don’t like the pay structure for a job don’t spend several years training for the job and then moan about it
- same goes for new t ...[text shortened]... rent job.
- everyone is suffering in the post pandemic recession; get back to work and do your job!

a junior doctor in his first year earns £14.09 p per hour Kwasi wanted £1250.00 per hr and HandCOCK wanted more but u would condone that wouldnt u Tory Boy.

People training to be a doctor know they will be working for the NHS for at least 10 years probably much longer before possibly going private. They know the NHS has been underfunded for decades, virtually since it’s inception.

If they don’t like the pay structure then they shouldn’t have chosen to be a doctor.

Striking goes against the Hippocratic oath they took. This oath has been in place for hundreds of years. If they don’t intend to honour the oath then they should do another job.

Teachers are even worse. Spend 3-4 years training to do a job they spend the rest of their life complaining about.

1) try calibrating out the 35 days of paid holiday they get in year 1-5.

2) they knew the pay when they signed up so your point is moot, irrespective of your mathematics and despite them earning whatever they earn in year 1.

you really are a horrid person

Teachers are the worst moaners of all:

Average starting pay across all jobs in the UK is £25k

Starting pay for midwife £25k

Police officer starting pay £24k

Starting pay for medical sales rep £25k

Starting pay for teachers £28k

Normal paid holidays 3-5 weeks

Teachers paid holidays 13 weeks

Mind you I’d probably moan if I had to spend my working life surrounded by other people’s revolting miscreant offspring.
