That is absolutely correct, the Junior Doctors know that, we do not and the govt. that does nothing as to work in hospitals does not either.

The Junior Doctors know this is a dangerous contract as to real 'quality' care of patients, that is why they are so against it.

Anything can look like it will work in theory, the practice of it is often a very different outcome.

The Junior Doctors further know, if patients suffer even more than now,after the imposition of this contract, then they will be the ones being blamed for the errors and things being overlooked.

Incredible to me, how so few blame the government handling of this and are so eager it appears to see public support for the Doctors to slip away.
If this was a Labour govt. 'forcing' a contract on the Junior Doctors,the criticism of that govt would be deafening probably on here.
Deafening from me too would it be as to whatever govt was in power,as for me the imposing of this contract is utterly wrong.

If it goes ahead,and is imposed against the will of the Junior Doctors, I do sadly hope that more and more Junior Doctors then throw in the towel and leave the English NHS, taking their badly needed skills and caring elsewhere, to a far more appreciative people and nation, rather than this one.
