  3. What knowledge and expertise?

  4. Still paying them far too much.

  5. The doctors look after their own interests and the Tories look after patients interests.

  6.  @thesaltbaron-du6mo  plus overtime, weekend enhancements and gold plated pension contributions.

  7.  @ganjamozart1435  a six figure salary is not good pay?
    3
  8.  @HassanPoyo  yet there is no shortage of people wanting to do it - all the medical degree courses are oversubscribed several times over.

  9. They have to pay for their own training if they go overseas - so they accept the free taxpayer funded training in Britain first.

  10. Australia and New Zealand can pick and choose.

  11. Work?

  12. They have a duty to patients.

  13.  @thesaltbaron-du6mo  NHS doctors pay is above the market rate.
    2
  14.  @hydra66  5% should suffice.
    2
  15.  @hydra66  if it's good enough for nurses it should be good enough for junior whingers. No one has an automatic right to index linked pay rises at any time, let alone during a period of austerity. If they stay on strike the government should recruit more doctors from overseas to replace them.

  16.  @thesaltbaron-du6mo  They haven’t lost anything - their pay has increased.

  17.  @ColaScan  Why would they choose to hire poorly educated, badly trained, dumbed down British doctors?

  21. No - we are all in this together.
    1
  22. It should be illegal for doctors to strike.
    1
  23.  @chengavitch10  because seriously ill patients have a human right not to be used as pawns by overpaid doctors in their petty pay dispute with the government.
    1
  24.  @ডাঃউচ্ছ্বাস  Approximately one years salary.
    1
  25. No - it looks absurd because it is absurd.

  26. Why should a pay increase be imposed to reward these immoral strikers?

  27.  @ZyNeEnZyNe  Is your nose brown by any chance?
    1
  28.  @laurencefox5884  doctors are overpaid.

  29.  @thesaltbaron-du6mo  but that’s not the end of the story.

  30.  @ZyNeEnZyNe  anyone can get into medical school in dumbed down Britain.

  31. Retired from the NHS.

  32. @Alasdair Booth endeavour to explain to them that their “naff” pay they are whinging about is one the highest remunerations on offer in Europe.

  33. The envy of the world?
    1
  34.  @kirby199  Before they start their degree course make it a condition that they have to pay back the full cost of their taxpayer funded training before they leave - that should do the trick.
    1
  35. @Alasdair Booth Agreed - the leeches need more stick and less carrot.
    1
  36.  @Mafiadaughter  What knowledge?
    1
  37.  @URBeingLiedTo  The sheeple swallow it though.

  38. Close all the training facilities in Britain and hire better educated doctors from overseas with the correct work ethic.
