Don't like your working conditions or your salary then find a new job. It's that simple.

didn't Hunt use a report which reported on deaths on Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon when moralising over a 7 day NHS? He conveniently lopped off the Mon/Fri so his stats related purely to the weekend.

Chances are someone will die because of this, so No.

I was ill a few years back and the NHS was a joke from start to finish, but what has that got to do with anything?
If I don't like my working environment then I move on to somewhere potentially better, doctors are free to do the same.

So while I sympathise with the plight of junior doctors I'm also mindful that once you make it to consultant you've got guaranteed big money for 25-30 years.
Well said, there are two million on the dole who would love to take over those jobs.
All you need is a white coat and a box set of Grey's Anatomy, and, hey presto, problem solved.
On call from home? No good if you have an emergency.
As I said, straightforward stuff great - plush room, nicer food etc. If you are very sick, or at risk of serious surgical complications then NHS is your best bet.
Certainly people often, wrongly, believe they get a better doctor by going private.
I don't dispute the highlighted bit, there is no way to set up a private hospital like that in our country, that is not what you were saying in your sensationalist earlier post.
.
You generally get the same consultant as they work in both sectors although generally in a private hospital you get the consultant rather than the "assistant". Almost zero chance of contracting nasty diseases during your stay as the cleanliness standards are vastly better and of course far less waiting times.
Shame about the 100's of life improving operations that have been cancelled today that the patients now have to wait another year for, although many private hospitals are doing these NHS ops today.
I've just done a Tax Return for a NHS consultant doctor and their gross taxable income was £105K for the second year in a row, about a quarter of which is from private work. That person is by no means working every hour God sends either.

How many junior doctors go onto become consultants, couldn't really find anything on that, and what age do they generally turn consultant I wonder. Is £105k per year big money for a highly trained, highly specialised saver of lives? A cabinet minister gets £134k....Chief Executive of Brighton and Hove Council gets £150k+, you even get a £270k golden handshake with that post!!
