Excellently put and well said.
This is it in a nutshell, it has always been the Junior Doctors arguments on this issue.
It is this govt that will 'not' listen seriously to their concerns on the matter.
I, from talking to my family who are Junior Doctors have said this many times on here too.
Sadly it does seem to be heading to the case where people and this govt would be happy to lose Doctors, otherwise they would be going all out to make sure 'all' of them were happy and to keep them.
If people now go against the Junior Doctors and then those Doctors leave the Country to work where they would be really appreciated, it will no good regretting that, if they are gone and this contract is wrongly imposed on the ones left in the English NHS,
Only the English NHS that is,as no new contracts are being imposed anywhere else in the UK.
