17 years ago a useful starting date. The financial crisis - an economic catastrophe that hit UK much harder than most countries. UK economy still not recovered. As a result most people have suffered a major pay hit. Should economics and philosophy be added to doctor training?.

“You owe the public nothing… It was all you.” What an extraordinary attitude.
Hey resident doctors, remember this:. You owe the NHS nothing.You owe the public nothing.You owe the Trusts nothing. You worked hard to become highly qualified and skilled professionals, it was all you. You are owed a fair wage and NOT a pay cut! Same for consultants. Strike hard.
