Oh well. We all make mistakes in life. Theirs was to fall in love with the people and culture of a foreign land. And it will likely cost them their lives. At least they had many years together, and did what they wanted to do for most of those years. That may be a small comfort to their family.
I can't believe this latest Junior Doctors' strike is going ahead. I supported their action during the last knockings of the Sunak Government, because that Government would not even talk to the BMA. This Government has awarded junior doctors 22% - far more than nurses or any other public sector workers. Sadly it seems junior doctors have fallen into that old militant trap, of thinking their earlier strikes won them that 22%, and they now have a green light to strike again until they get everything they want. Well I'm 100% against their action this time. Go back to work.
I don’t believe that doctors have the same loyalty to the NHS as they had when they didn't have to pay their own tuition fees. I have been reliably told that there is a national crisis of them not wanting to see patients, and this tallies with the experience of my family and myself.
