I probably would. Not that it would make a difference, they've all got each other's backs.

Poor you hope the pain eases soon.

Yeah complain. Medicine is a massive old boys' club though and they do cover each other.

Yes, I would complain, but then I would have gone to A&E in the first place.

S/He will be less likely to be offerred a permenant contract if everyone complains.
