Yes they save lives and are compassionate and stuff and full credit to them for that and all BUT I do think they are greedy.
Think about it, every time they are mentioned in the news its never about them curing cancer or anything like that, its always about them wanting more pay and more money for less hours. Bus drivers, firemen, policemen have to work 24/7 and they don't complain. I feel doctors feel they are entitled to some kind of superior treatment.
And then theres the fact that they are quite sneaky. You ask them "Is this strike about money?" and their answer is essentially this:
"No DEFINITELY NOT. This is about completely about patient safety. The government are proposing to stretch resources too thin. They're trying to convert a 5 day service into a 7 day service using the same number of doctors...[and then here it comes...] They need to acknowledge that Saturdays and Sundays are out of hours services."
What they are saying is... if you pay us enough, we'll do the extra work even though its apparently unsafe LOL
So dodgy.
