And from the outside that is one of the biggest issues whether that is fair or not I don't know
I can probably get double my salary in a private company, I get called up to coroners court on a regular basis with a potential worst situation of getting charged with man slaughter.
I start at work at 6am, and most weekends are spent writing reports. I've had finger literally on someone's beating heart, I've told young families they will never see their husband/wife again after failed 2222 attempts and than have to go straight to another 2222 call, I've done 36hrs shifts because of staffing issues.
If I worked my hourly 'rate' its probably less than what the junior doctors are striking about. I LOVE my job because it's the NHS and there is so MUCH work to do......on top of my Medicine degree I have an MD, x2 Diplomas, x2 PcG Certs, and currently doing a MBA equivalent in my 'spare' time. I do all this because I want to better at my job, not because I want more ££££.
If making ££££££ was my main drive, I'm pretty sure I can find a less stressful and lucrative path....private work for example .
