    Wow, 98% vote in favour of the doctors strike on a 76% turnout. How's that for democratic legitimacy?

    So much for the Hippocratic Oath. 98% of inexperienced quacks are more interested in their wallets and comfort than patient welfare. Spoilt brats.
    It's the 'Me,Me,Me' generation, schooled under Labour.
    Let's give you a 20% pay cut at work. I'm sure you'll gladly accept it as it will benefit other employees - none of that 'Me', 'Me', 'Me' nonsense.
    That has happened to lots of people at my place of work over the years. Lots of them. Without any negotiation. And the choice was to take it, move - assuming you could find another better paid job, or take redundancy.

    Lots of people in lots of industries over the last 7/8 years have endured real and nominal pay cuts. Why do doctors think that they alone should be insulated from the consequences of the state running a deficit every year and having to live - like the rest of us - within its means?

    Sounds like you need a new job. Thankfully the doctors don't have your self-evidently terrible negotiation skills.
    They certainly need a reality check. A sense of professionalism too, if they want to be thought of as professionals. And a recognition that their salaries are paid for by others' taxes. Others who earn less, have less job security, have endured far more hardship than doctors and who depend on them.
    Ah yes the usual pb commentator who cannot stand the fact that there are some things which the state should do and therefore pay people to do it. It matters not a fig where the salary comes from if the government is committed to doing dangerous things they have a duty to speak up.

    How many patients do you think will die as a result of strike action?
    Zero but standby for Hunt's dodgy statistics to misrepresent the truth as he had done with the mortality statistics.

    What percentage of junior doctors are white men? 20%? 25%?

    Majority of medical students for a number of years how have been female.
