they even have the option if they don't like it to go to wales Ireland or Scotland who offer the old contract. sadly those nations will see tens of thousands of innocent people die from neglect on the weekend over the coming years, thats a FACT that's not scaremongering by the way....the docs have zero to complain about. they should stop holding the country to ransom and risking the lives of their patients with their disgusting petty strikes and their greed....hunt is 100% right, the doctors here are 100% wrong,

Well for a start the weekend figures he talks about have included Monday and Fridays figures in them too.
Anyway, I am probably massively wasting my time on this with you but I think you are wrong and since you already have a really low opinion of the NHS anyway, no doubt from personal experience and I respect that totally.
The strikes however are 'NOT' about money but the safety of Patients, no one should have imposed on them conditions they believe can be dangerous and make them unable to carry out their duties properly.

It is 40 years since Doctors were pushed into a situation where they felt a need to strike and even though striking, they are still available for emergency situations.
That last strike too, 40 years ago was in fact against a Labour govt at the time.
So Doctors are not the ones playing politics,and even on this issue, even it seems the majority of Consultants back the Junior Doctors on this as well.

So to you, all in the medical profession are wrong, the ones delivering the care, and the govt is right 100%,sorry bit that is ridiculous by any standards.
