in General Charlton
Once dear old Jezza has finished dismantling the NHS is there any chance of getting him in as the new CEO of Charlton. He could finish the club off even faster than KM.
I imagine he got bullied a lot at school and is now getting his own back.

    I'm afraid there will always be some people who say 'so then fellow me lad, what's yer name now? Hunt you say? Hunt? I like a good hunt.

    Quite a lot of them in south west Surrey I believe, that and UKIP from what I remember of the signs for the election.

    Well...

    They go through five years at university subsidised by the government
    Come out of uni and start on a pretty decent wage
    If good enough they are in a position to earn quite a lot at a later date

    Then they decide they don't like the hours because it is detrimental to patients' health
    so cancel 4000 operations so they can strike.

    eh?


    Quick Q&A to the Corbynisters:

    Q: Are you a doctor? A: No, I am not a doctor
    Q: Do you read the Daily Mail? A: No, I do not read the Daily Mail
    Q: Not supporting the Junior Doctors makes you racist. A: That's not a question
    Q: Do you welcome the fact that we're going to have American style healthcare? A: Privatising parts of the NHS, if done correctly, does not equate to a wholesale dismantlement of the NHS

    I know, a 16.5% payrise and less hours... AND they are paid the same rate to work on a Saturday!!!!

    It's Dickensian.

    This is what happens when you read The Daily Mail. It's bad for your health, particularly your blood pressure.

    Yeah so I know, let's give them a pay cut and make them work Saturdays as well.

    I mean I'm sure there are no other countries with a high quality of life where they need highly trained medical staff.

    You know where are made to feel valued rather than treated like shit.

    only anecdotal of course .. BUT .. I have had two very elderly relatives needing emergency hospital admissions over a weekend .. one died and one was very ill for a long time afterwards .. I KNOW that if the incidents had occurred during the week, they both would have had far better and prompter treatment and far more chance of survival and for a quick recovery ..
    In one of the instances, at a fair sized hospital in Banbury there was not even a radiographer on site or on call to take xrays, and one junior doctor was trying to cope with A&E and ward rounds, there was even a shortage of experienced nurses and no clerical staff at all .. Most of the problems of course come down to lack of cash but there is still a widespread aversion in this country to working on Saturdays and Sundays.

    Weekend cover and working in the NHS needs to be sorted out a s a p and this probably applies to consultant medics as well as if not more than the 'juniors'

    Well done to you and also commiserations.

    Many of my family have over the years worked for the NHS. My grandma was a midwife, my mum a haematologist and then an occupational therapist, my dads wife in a clerical position...

    All ended up leaving before they wanted to as a result of inept management over an extended period.

    One of my friends left the country as a newly qualified junior doctor around 20 years ago to New Zealand because even then what he was being asked to do here was fucking stupid.

    Now, i imagine it's worse than it has ever been.

    I find Jeremy Hunt (like most of his predecessors) a bit of a twat and I reckon the majority of the general public are very supportive of the junior doctors' (i.e.non-consultants') position.

    This looks, feels and smells like another ideological attack on the public sector (very much in the spirit of George Osborne, a man whose mission appears to be to completely dismantle the state sector). Sadly, I suspect that a large number of the doctors that we spend a great deal of time and money training will end up leaving the NHS. I guess that some people won't mind, as long as they can afford private insurance and the escalating premiums as they get older. Two points to bear in mind: first, most people can't do so, and, secondly, we have a large ageing population on our hand and the demands on the NHS are increasing each year.

    Don't get me started on George Osborne.

    The BBC this am - prior to the news that the new contract was being imposed - were saying that everything had been agreed except the money. Was that true or not? If it was, it implies that the Doctors were not too worried about patient safety as long as the money was okay. Did the Beeb misreport?

    The trouble with the NHS now is they're trying to extend services without increasing staffing. Staff are demoralised,stressed and bullied and get further criticism heaped on them by tabloids.

    What this government is doing to the NHS is criminal and nearly all of us will suffer. The bastards in charge really don't give a f***!

    I got talking to an American lady from Florida who told me that her baby was a caesarian and it cost her (insurance company) $30,000, and she also had to front up $1600 for the pre natal appointments.
    My son was caesarian, indeed he was a minor complication being a 'mobile transverse' and it cost me no more than what I had paid up until then in general taxation.
