Resident doctors synicsl strike again

And they can all leave. Indentured servitude was a bit last century.

They renamed themselves “resident doctors” which makes no sense since none of them are resident and the longest shift they work is 13 hours. The job now is a far cry from the days of 72hr on call weekends that the true “resident doctors” worked.

The police and the army can't strike as well.

They get paid for a job they agreed to do. They have to show up and do it.

You do know the title of Junior Doctor has been changed to Resident Doctor....

...and that a Resident Dr may have spent many years in a hospital... treating patients and having huge amounts of responsibility...

Perhaps you don't because you don't know much else about the profession.

I'm not sure they would love to be resident. Do you know that actually means living in the hospital?

You really don't like doctors do you ! They'd love to be resident (like those beloved AHPs) but they are forced to rotate.

If you're sick and want to see a doctor you need to ask for one. Because many people like to cosplay at being one (which is a criminal offence).

A junior doctor told me he earns £14.50 ana hr. I don’t like them striking but what else can they do?

Rude. They are still junior doctors in that they are not consultants ,i.e. senior doctors. Calling them resident doctors is actually quite funny given that they are definitely not resident.

The government can pass legislation to ban them from striking

We can disagree about the strikes have no issue with that. Sad that you do not see threatening people with the spectre of death is not appropriate and morally corrupt but we can disagree on that as well.

What I have hated on all these threads is the denigration of other AHPS, professions their skill sets, knowledge. The attitude that only medics are having a hard time and are treated the worst of everyone. The belief of some of the tales about their working conditions just does not ring true with those of us working in hospitals, teaching, educating and working with the residents on a daily basis

I do not believe in the right of any 17 yr old who enters medical school to be guaranteed a well paid job and training in what ever they want, wherever they want - that is just ridiculous and ensures people do not strive to be the best as they know they will get it anyway.

The only loser then is the patient.

"Highly educated" well up to a point. They have a medical degree.

"Trained" no, they are trained while they work as junior doctors. They all get their first two jobs and start training. To begin with they cannot work independently. After those first two jobs progression is not guaranteed, getting training posts is competitive.

"Such responsibility" is always ultimately the consultants responsibility.

It's awfully low for a highly educated, trained 23 year old with a job of such responsibility.
