Once dear old Jezza has finished dismantling the NHS is there any chance of getting him in as the new CEO of Charlton. He could finish the club off even faster than KM. I imagine he got bullied a lot at school and is now getting his own back.
They go through five years at university subsidised by the government Come out of uni and start on a pretty decent wage If good enough they are in a position to earn quite a lot at a later date
Then they decide they don't like the hours because it is detrimental to patients' health so cancel 4000 operations so they can strike.
eh?
Quick Q&A to the Corbynisters:
Q: Are you a doctor? A: No, I am not a doctor Q: Do you read the Daily Mail? A: No, I do not read the Daily Mail Q: Not supporting the Junior Doctors makes you racist. A: That's not a question Q: Do you welcome the fact that we're going to have American style healthcare? A: Privatising parts of the NHS, if done correctly, does not equate to a wholesale dismantlement of the NHS

It's not just about the hours. Get your face out of the Daily Mail. They want to reduce. That's reduce the maximum hours a doctor can work from 91 to 72 hours per week. This while asking the same number of doctors to cover the change to a seamless 24/7 NHS. They will not cope.
The starting pay for a doctor is just 26k in one of if not the most important and stressful jobs on the planet.

Have you worked in a hospital? Do you welcome the fact that we're going to have American style healthcare? Do you seriously believe Jeremy Hunt has any intention of negotiating with anyone? Would you be surprised if a number of ministers got lovely consultancies and backhanders from private healthcare companies? Do you read the Daily Mail?

Yeah so I know, let's give them a pay cut and make them work Saturdays as well.
I mean I'm sure there are no other countries with a high quality of life where they need highly trained medical staff.
You know where are made to feel valued rather than treated like shit.
We have the most right wing press in Europe and a population who somehow believe American style healthcare is the way forward. Sometimes people are so ill informed it's beyond belief.
I work in the NHS and the constant criticism by people who don't have a clue is v depressing. There are a lot of problems but this government has no interest in solutions it just wants to privatise as much as possible.
Anyone daft enough to trust this government with the NHS is away with the fairies.....
only anecdotal of course .. BUT .. I have had two very elderly relatives needing emergency hospital admissions over a weekend .. one died and one was very ill for a long time afterwards .. I KNOW that if the incidents had occurred during the week, they both would have had far better and prompter treatment and far more chance of survival and for a quick recovery .. In one of the instances, at a fair sized hospital in Banbury there was not even a radiographer on site or on call to take xrays, and one junior doctor was trying to cope with A&E and ward rounds, there was even a shortage of experienced nurses and no clerical staff at all .. Most of the problems of course come down to lack of cash but there is still a widespread aversion in this country to working on Saturdays and Sundays.
Weekend cover and working in the NHS needs to be sorted out a s a p and this probably applies to consultant medics as well as if not more than the 'juniors'
Many of my family have over the years worked for the NHS. My grandma was a midwife, my mum a haematologist and then an occupational therapist, my dads wife in a clerical position...
All ended up leaving before they wanted to as a result of inept management over an extended period.
One of my friends left the country as a newly qualified junior doctor around 20 years ago to New Zealand because even then what he was being asked to do here was fucking stupid.
The plan is to render the NHS unmanageable and allow standards to slide so much that the public perception of the NHS changes from what it is now to a situation where people shrug and say it's not working. Guess what comes next. Fat juicy profits from selling off the good bits and leaving the non profit making bits to the taxpayer.
I find Jeremy Hunt (like most of his predecessors) a bit of a twat and I reckon the majority of the general public are very supportive of the junior doctors' (i.e.non-consultants') position.
This looks, feels and smells like another ideological attack on the public sector (very much in the spirit of George Osborne, a man whose mission appears to be to completely dismantle the state sector). Sadly, I suspect that a large number of the doctors that we spend a great deal of time and money training will end up leaving the NHS. I guess that some people won't mind, as long as they can afford private insurance and the escalating premiums as they get older. Two points to bear in mind: first, most people can't do so, and, secondly, we have a large ageing population on our hand and the demands on the NHS are increasing each year.
The BBC this am - prior to the news that the new contract was being imposed - were saying that everything had been agreed except the money. Was that true or not? If it was, it implies that the Doctors were not too worried about patient safety as long as the money was okay. Did the Beeb misreport?
The trouble with the NHS now is they're trying to extend services without increasing staffing. Staff are demoralised,stressed and bullied and get further criticism heaped on them by tabloids.
What this government is doing to the NHS is criminal and nearly all of us will suffer. The bastards in charge really don't give a f***!
I got talking to an American lady from Florida who told me that her baby was a caesarian and it cost her (insurance company) $30,000, and she also had to front up $1600 for the pre natal appointments. My son was caesarian, indeed he was a minor complication being a 'mobile transverse' and it cost me no more than what I had paid up until then in general taxation.

Wow. That wins the Daily Mail most misguided post of 2016.

Quite a lot of them in south west Surrey I believe, that and UKIP from what I remember of the signs for the election.

Now, i imagine it's worse than it has ever been.
