Resident doctors synicsl strike again

Read some of these comments out to my year 13s. They decided any consultant being that rude about their staff should be fired 😂.

Striking is not compulsory. Doctors who don't agree with it, won't.

Don't agree with you at all. Strange for someone who seems to think they are an academic to show so much bias. Why have you only noticed certain posters comments while ignoring other posters comments?

You also missed my point. I was referring to a particular poster escalating to a point that nasty remarks were made about my DS. Interesting that you ignored those remarks about my DS which were a new low.

I noticed this too, and I thought it was strange because @uneffingbelievable began a very grown up sort of conversation with many very interesting contributions. With time on my hands I wondered if by collecting the unhelpful posts together a pattern might emerge. What do you make of them?

1)Please learn to read and comprehend better
2)You seem to have a grudge against doctors and believe lawyers are all just so amazing, so hopefully they'll be able to treat you when you are sick.
3)Good to see the usual UK doctor haters turn up as soon as I post 😂. I shall expect the usual patronising, derogatory remarks very soon.
4)And again, your hatred of doctors is outstanding. Assume you're a lawyer ?
5)Whataboutery at its finest on show here…Don't like doctors ? Fine, don't use them 🤷‍♀️.
6)I assume you are campaigning to prevent more medical schools opening and for the closure of the ones you deem unacceptable ?...I'm sure the GMC will welcome your information as to why they are wrong and you are right about the rubbish standards of education.
7)Can you not read the disparaging and mean remarks people make on here about doctors.
8)Bollocks I'm afraid. F2s are independent. And F1s have to be a lot of the time as no one around to help.
9)But as can be seen on here. Many people hate doctors. Not sure why🤷‍♀️
10)You really don't like doctors do you !
11)And your rudeness towards F1s is quite frankly disgusting from a so called consultant (who is PAID to train them and support them).
12)Ah the insults have started. Never takes long. Can't argue so insult. Same old. Maybe people here are 13 after all !

Oh, and these:

1)There really are some posters with very unpleasant views. Envy is an ugly emotion.
2)Very tiring to see posts from people that have no idea.
3)Oh dear so much dislike of doctors and a resident expert that is not a doctor but married to a doctor of 30 years. Why are they even on this thread?

Unfortunately the insults and misinformation always surface. I noted an escalation a few days ago.

Exactly. Who would take the word of anyone saying they are a consultant on MN.

Nurses are still the worst off group irrespective

You just can't compare the two. In the private professional sector, if your employer doesn't pay you what you think you are worth, you are free to move to another company. Significant pay increases happen in that way. If you can't get a higher paid role, then the market has decided your worth. Also if you are made redundant you have the same options. Not the case if you are an NHS employee.

Many, many other people have suffered pay stagnation. The thing is NHS doctors are employees of the state. And the state is skint. So they don’t get a pay rise.

That’s EXACTLY how it works in the private sector. But on top of this many private sector employees suffer ENDLESS round ms of redundancies. Thats life. I can’t see why public sector workers should be shielded from the realities of life. In my company 150 people were made refundant in January. The junior doctors just come across as arrogant, ignorant idiots.

It's pay erosion %. Not pay rise

Dates are at the bottom ? Using ONS data.

Genuinely not sure about this, what year was it?
April 2010 starting salary for band 5 nurse 21176. For F1 22523.
In April 2025, starting salary band 5 nurse 31049, F1 38831.
So nurses pay erosion is actually higher when comparing to the 2025 figures.

No one ?

No one has to strike if they disagree with BMA so not really a problem.

Never thought I was ? Again weird.

ALL the resident doctors I know are v happy with UKG priority as all have got into training this year because of it. However, all will be striking. We obviously know v different young people. That is possible as most I know come from poor backgrounds and don't have parents to help them out.

The trainee medics I know want the jobs. They couldn’t give a damn about the pay. They want jobs, and are mightily pissed off at the BMA sinking their very valid requests for jobs by consistently tagging on a greedy little gripe about pay to every strike.

The BMA need to look around and get a grip. Who has had solid real times pay increases since 2008? Pretty much no one! Read the room FGS. You’re not special.

Ah the insults have started. Never takes long. Can't argue so insult. Same old. Maybe people here are 13 after all !

It certainly had been said. (Last thread, or the one before or the one before that....)
You could name change to escape past embarrassment.

And again, not sure when that's been said. But let's not let facts get in the way.

Tea break over.

I'd hope some are called 'Mrs' or 'Miss'.

None of us know who others are on here, so I'll believe doctors I know, work with and meet in person. And quite rightly you can ignore me. Doesn't make me wrong though.

@mumsneedwine the doctors on here do trust actual real life people they have met! They work in hospitals with junior doctors every day and know what happens. You are a random on social media.

You are the random who firmly believed that all doctors are consultants once they finish their training, even if they can't get a consultant job.

And that all consultants are called "Mr" because they are consultants regardless of speciality.

Scary situation for the F1 who is first to arrive, but they have the ward staff ( it's quite common for ward nurses to be ALS trained) and senior decision makers are on their way.

Most of us will trust actual real life people we know exist and have met. Not randoms on social media. Because we are not 13.

Most of us will trust the experience and views of the consultant medics.

Yes it is. Know lots of them who have held several bleeps overnight (& during some days), have been first at cardiac arrests. Just because you've not seen it doesn't make it not true.

Some of us have to work now.
