I feel like medicine is changing so much, I wonder what the scheme will be in the future when I graduate. I guess the new system is okay, but what happens if we only get 40 hours? Plus tax makes it super hard to live, don't you think? On the other hand, working 48 hours is substantially higher than what it used to be, which is crazy. Do you know if you can register to work weekends (1:4 ish), or is that luck based to? Is there any way to find out which specialities lend themselves to longer work, as I won't have had a chance to experience all of them. Finally how do we go about being a locum (I guess you earn more, but this doesn't sound very appealing as I'd like to be knowing exactly what I'll be doing and when i'll be doing it).
