Do you support the Junior Doctor's latest planned 5 day strike?So, since 1948 how come all preceding trainee doctors signed their contracts and got on with the vocation not" the job " as its referred today. Training in medicine was a hard and difficult for a reason, after all these folk are dealing day to day ,hour to hour with people's lives and had to have the stamina to do so, so the training was tough but worthwhile at the end when patients felt cared for and not worrying if their operations were going to be cancelled. Its a fact,that today many trainee doctors are women who find they can't manage work ( vocation)life,home,children and want medicine to be a 9-5 day and five day week, many not a few they can't stick the pace of work that they signed up for unlike their predecessors. Maybe to many rethink their choice of career and leave it to those who really want to be doctors, to get on with their lives, contract or no contract and dont see it as meal ticket! The BMA should hang their heads in shame that their leadership brings their profession to this level. How all this must be hurting the genuine young doctors.
