"Can I Just Shut You Up A Minute?" | James Whale v Junior Doctor

[@willybendit]

who is worth the higher wage a Politician or a Doctor in my mind a Doctor every time

[@RoxanneLavender]

Tbh, i was earning close to £15 per hour stacking shelves in a shop on a Sunday 10 years ago. I was putting handbags on shelves, clothes on hangers, sewing threads on shelves... So how is it that people who provide medical care, deal with blood, guts, pus, loony and violent people, etc, save lives, how is it that these people are paid £15 per hour? It's insane and crazy, and they should get a pay rise for that job. They are not robots, they are human beings and they do a very hard job and work very long hours, our lives are literally in their hands, they should be paid more than £15 per hour, ffs.

[@Johnnyreem]

@@RoxanneLavender I don't think it's £15 per hour but I understand your point. What if the Co-op paid for you to study part-time, and upon completion of your traineeship you got a salary increase guaranteed until you earned 60k or even more if you worked in private supermarkets?

The public sector is not financially productive; it's paid for out of taxation. It doesn't make a profit, it doesn't generate wealth. The higher a percentage of the economy that the public sector is, the higher the tax burden, which depresses the private sector, which is where the wealth and the taxes are generated. Public sector employees paying income tax is ouroboros economics; the 20% of their salary deducted in tax just goes straight back to the exchequer to be paid out again next month as part of their gross.

[@lint8391]

I'm calling BS on Junior Doctors earning a living wage. They already earn enough to live on and when they qualify it's a license to print money. Why should we, the taxpayers pay them more? What should be funded more is the medical schools, so that we have more people per year being offered places to study Medicine. To adjust the long term supply and demand balance. So that doctors pay can be reduced from the current levels whilst still being generous.

She just put her foot in it. If Doctors are going on sick leave because they can’t handle the pressures of the job. How exactly is more money going to help. The pressures will still be there. Maybe we’re recruiting the wrong types to the role. Maybe they should test a recruits ability to handle pressure, before spending thousands on training them, just for them to go on sick leave and demand more money. If the strikes were about recruiting more doctors, to relieve the current pressures, then I would understand. Although, the timing of these strikes is very odd. When no politician can address the issue with them 🤷🏼‍♂️

The issue is the nhs gets plenty of money but nhs England is where the rot starts and the added layers of administration drains cash out the system along with labours pfi projects that last 30 years, as for the staffing shortages the bma and the rcn are just as at fault as the gov in limiting training places.

I agree. The lack of training places in Medical Schools is shockingly bad management. My son would have loved to become a doctor. He'd have made a great doctor. He failed to get in because there was too much competition for the places and he failed to jump through certain hoops that they use to decide who gets offered a place and who doesn't. With 35% more places offered to study Medicine, he'd have gotten in. And in the long term this would address waiting lists and help to keep the wage bill manageable.

By all means offer burseries to those who arent privately educated or own their own home bought by Mummy & Daddy but Privately educated people who lay in the middle of the roads claiming a climate emergency, and privately educated Junior Doctor's claiming a financial crisis, should not be pandered to politically or given 35% wage increases.

Junior doctors in essence are apprentices and not qualified as full doctors

[@Fidelisjoff]

£37,000 p.a. for a 1sr year junior doctor is the reality. Thats more.than what they would earn elsewhere with the years of study they have. My son after 4 years of studying and 3 years of work/study as a trainee accountant earns £32,000 p.a. GPs earn sumes of monet most graduates only dream about.

I think you're misinformed. Don't get me wrong £37k is a great wage but there are grads working at IBs, hedge funds or as quants earning 100k plus. Comparatively their studies were much less than medicine.

a junior doctor in uk is barely trained . if they came to us they might be an intern and then have to do a residency... or likely go back to some more med school

You are waiting so many hours while they are busy treating migrants.

[@chrisratboy479]

sweetheart welcome to the real world every worker across the board and across the land deserves a pay rise and not the so called living wage that you cant live off

My wife has just been diagnosed with cancer, she was supposed to be going for a procedure this week but due to these people going on strike she is told now she will have to wait

[@kinggeoffrey3801]

My wife has the same issue so we are going private. But junior doctors should definitely be earning more than they are.

[@Ravenuk]

@@kinggeoffrey3801 We cannot afford private I am glad you can. It matters not to me or my wife what they are paid. The fact is they are paid to do a job not continually strike. They either want to do the job or they dont. Oh and btw my son works in a massive hospital covering for some of these people.

James Whale just completely milking his situation. Absolutely appalling human being, completely unprofessional, rude, disrespectful, idiotic.
