SUPPORT THE JUNIOR DOCTORS’ STRIKE!
they’re supposed to work with poor pay relative to their work and their only reward is “feeling good about savings lives” whilst engineers, lawyers and bankers enjoy massive benefits and perks with their jobs all since graduation. and who is trying to save lives here? it’s not the bankers. junior doctors are overworked and it’s not safe for you, the patients, or them. in fact a Scottish junior doctor died as she drove off the road in sheer exhaustion from being overworked. if you’re tired how well do you perform? yet junior doctors (and other nhs staff) are expected to save lives in that state. they need proper pay, proper rest, and your support in achieving that.
the media claims that this strike is hurting the patients, but in the long term patients will be far more hurt by their carers being overworked and exhausted.
the nhs is currently running on the sheer goodwill of its staff but after a decade of that the goodwill is running out as the staff is exhausted through being overworked. support improved working conditions for nurses and junior doctors!
please signal boost something on this issue if you have british followers, it’s important.
