Aldi truck drivers don’t get generous overtime, night shift allowance, weekend enhancements, on call payments and 20.6% of their salary paid into a gold plated, index linked pension.

@mdmurray17 If on call payments were available to drivers they would be warmly welcomed. Doctors have the luxury of that option - drivers don’t.

@IamtheSmoosh The new breed of junior doctors are poorly educated, badly trained and incompetent.

NHS doctors are among the highest paid in Europe but provide one of the worst services in Europe. British taxpayers are getting poor value for money.

The NHS is not understaffed.

@johnyysimmerz No - plumbers don’t kill people.

@jeanaheroe Doctors take human lives - plumbers release blocked pipes.

Who in their right mind would want to pay over the odds for poorly educated, badly trained, incompetent British junior doctors?

@mrobo9037 Spot the clapping sheep.

@pdempseyful Doctors have not lost any money.

@pdempseyful What makes you think doctors pay has been hit harder than other peoples?
1
@pdempseyful No - which is why I have been able to observe doctors pay increasing more than virtually every other worker over that period.

@E-Cyber-S Australia can pick and choose and will select highly educated, properly trained, competent doctors which excludes the vast majority of British medics.

@johnyysimmerz Nurses have never had it so easy.
1
@mdmurray17 Doctors pay has increased in real terms over the past two decades.
1
@E-Cyber-S Doctors are overpaid.
1
WHAAAT - another one? They received a 9% pay rise six months ago.

@nirmalpetsonparakkal8172 Anyone of average intelligence can become a doctor in dumbed down Britain.

@timredd They are not free to go until they have a job offer and the vast majority of dumbed down British medics would never clear the interview.

@IamtheSmoosh Only 3.5% of NHS doctors are leaving the UK to work overseas and the new breed of British medics have to undertake bridging courses because the new breed of British medics are so poorly educated and badly trained.

@IamtheSmoosh I can’t see my reply.

@mdmurray17 and they get paid weekend enhancements.
1
@mdmurray17 Doctors have received regular annual pay rises. Their pay has not been cut.
1
@mdmurray17 because unlike yourself I am economically literate and informed.
1
@mdmurray17 Typical response from one of the new breed of dumbed down, economically illiterate medics. I realise educational standards have fallen in recent decades and innumerate students are now offered places at medical school but you clearly need to go back to primary school and learn about percentages.

@mdmurray17 I can see 4 replies - have one or more been censored so as not to disillusion the brainwashed?

Junior doctors are paid more than enough.
1
@mdmurray17 Taxpayers pay more than sufficient for a third rate health service delivered by poorly educated, badly trained, incompetent British medics.
1
@IamtheSmoosh I can’t see my reply.
1
@E-Cyber-S You go private or go oversea… oh wait, private practices and other countries only want competent doctors.

@meEllson The salaries of NHS consultants put them in the top 2% income bracket - 98% of workers are paid less.

@mdmurray17 The NHS has the lowest cancer survival rate in Europe. The NHS has the highest hospital mortality rate in Europe. The NHS had the highest Covid death toll in Europe. NHS doctors provide one of the worst services in Europe.
1
@mdmurray17 The OECD reported that the New Labour government chose to squander the NHS budget on huge pay rises for doctors and consultants while comparator countries preferred to invest their health budget in state of the art cancer screening equipment which explains why the UK has the lowest cancer survival rate and the highest paid medics in Europe. British taxpayers are getting poor value for money.

@mdmurray17 NHS doctors are among the highest paid in Europe but provide one of the worst services in Europe. British taxpayers are getting poor value for money. If any British doctor leaves the NHS to move abroad within 10 years of graduation from whatever passes for “medical school” these days they should be legally required to repay every penny of the £600k plus that taxpayers spent on their “education” and “training”.

@mdmurray17 Highly educated Singaporean doctors working in the UK were aghast at the lack of medical knowledge and poor levels of understanding evident in the new breed of dumbed down British medics.
1
@mdmurray17 I believe there are approx. 186,000 doctors in the UK, the vast majority who would not have stood a cat in Hell’s chance of securing a place at a British medical school 30-35 years ago before the entry requirements were drastically dumbed down. A retired British nurse who emigrated to Australia recently posted on YT that the new intake of poorly educated, badly trained British medics are not competent to practice and have to undertake bridging courses to bring them up to Australian standards.
