Sounds like medicine has changed quite a bit. Treatments have improved but perks of the job and reverence to seniors certainly not as they once were. Not necessary for people to be treated like gods but the continuing looming IA shows that doctors certainly feel less valued.
Fifty years ago today, on September 1st 1973, I started work on my first day as a newly qualified doctor in St Helens Hospital, Marshall’s Cross Road, St Helens, Lancashire. This was my payslip for that first month. A thread . . . 1/9

The pensions situation is much better but if you’re a consultant your pay erosion is like getting one of these demanding £32,000-£43,000 Every Single Year. Fix pay, pensions and pay review process https://t.co/WemRHaNBxG

So…my considered medical opinion is that @Conservatives party policy over the last 10 years has been bad for the nation’s health. So in the same way I advise patients to avoid crack cocaine, or riding an escooter without a helmet, please avoid the Tory party.

Thank you to @Dr_PhilippaW for highlighting to @RishiSunak the need to address doctors' pay erosion and telling him the importance of sitting down and negotiating to avoid strike action.

This morning we have written to the Health Secretary calling on him to meet with us, after only meeting with us once in the last 7 months. We remain willing to talk, it's not too late to properly negotiate. #FixConsultantPay

I am the educational and academic supervisor of several junior doctors and I run projects for medical students in my research group. It is frightening how many are taking exams for the US and Canada and how many are applying for jobs in Australia. I have never seen anything
