as for your accusations I don't care about public sector workers, what a damned lie. that wage you quote above is a good wage for trainees. they will be on 6 figures after than for the rest of their career and many do private as well. so you can put your violin down. The public sector workers who I do have sympathy for are not doctors but firemen and some in the social services. but of course you label everyone a bigot if they don't agree with your tory hatred 24 hours a day

Wow, what an over the top rhetoric!
Wasn't it you that said, "take some risks that make you accountable and join the private sector" ? those words sound like the sort of thing a died in the wool privatization campaigner would say and the sort of utterance that's bound to get a response. Sorry if that hurts your ego mate but I think statements like that should be questioned.
A lie? I made a suggestion based on the things you've been saying but because I added a question mark, its not a statement is it?.
The reason people are dying is because we don't have enough GP's working in A&E. There are plenty of junior doctors but they may as well have their hands tied behind their backs. Last year alone we employed three thousand oversees doctors to try and bridge the GP gap but its still not enough because they are leaving quicker than arriving.
As I've already said, junior doctors often work a 65 hour week. Its not unusual for a junior doctor to work an 80 hour week because they stay on after their shifts, not because they want to but because they often need to and are even expected to by their seniors. They are not rewarded for those voluntary extra hours, nor do they expect reward.
A junior doctor isn't just someone fresh out of medical school, doing their foundation year. If you join medical school at 18 you can expect to be 27-28 before you lose your junior title.
