Selfish Uncaring Doctors back on strike

[tobyjugg2]

If HUNT wants to do something about costs in the NHS, then why doesn't he address the real corporate profiteering on basic medicines.

Even the US has started too

 

Canadian pharma group raises price of NHS eye drug 14-fold

 

Concordia strategy triggers fears over price gouging in UK

Have to admit had a "friend" she's had stomach pains for 6 months plus now.

 

Its taken until Last night to have a decision and she had an appendix removal

 

While I admire doctors this is an operation I actually know how to do and I suggested it should have been looked at 4 months ago.

 

I don't blame the doctors in the slightest. They simply do not have the time or the funding to do their jobs under the current regime

 

It's taken 6 months of different diagnoses to get the right opinion on a dear "friend" and I blame the government for that

Isnt that Consultants not junior doctors, or at least a team under the control of a consultant?

 

Into politics and budgets there rather than best care in my opinion.

 

I have great regard for many GP's and so called junior doctors, far less for consultants.

Their perspectives and priorities seem to change quite dramatically once 'promoted'.

The RCN has weighed in on Prime Minister David Cameron's

health care proposals for the junior doctors in the National Health Service.

 

The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

 

The Gastroenterologists had a sort of a gut feeling about it,

but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

 

The Obstetricians felt they were all labouring under a misconception.

 

Ophthalmologists considered the idea short-sighted.

 

Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Paediatricians said,

"Oh, Grow up."

 

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it.

 

The Surgeons were fed up with the cuts and decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.

 

The Ear Nose and Throat specialists didn't swallow it, and just wouldn't hear of it.

 

The Pharmacists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said,

"This puts a whole new face on the matter."

 

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were ****ed off at the whole idea.

 

The Anaesthetists thought the whole idea was a gas, but the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

Have we heard anything regarding the latest round of talks ?

Have we heard anything regarding the latest round of talks ?

 

If nothing else, it looks like its ended Hunts political career, which of itself is easily worth 10 times the strike days.

Have we heard anything regarding the latest round of talks ?

here you go

'Government negotiators and the British Medical Association leadership have reached an agreement after eight days of talks at conciliation service Acas..Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the deal was a "significant step forward", while the BMA said it represented the "best and final way" to end the row. The offer will now be put to a vote of over 40,000 BMA members...'

In other words Jeremy Edited Hunt was told to wind his neck in so the spin team can concentrate on lying to us all about Europe.

Jeremy Hunt should resign, as he has proved to be incompetent. It has taken over 3 years and the first Doctors strike to get to this position. The NHS was already a 7 day service for A&E, but to have full operating Hospitals 7 days a week, means new contracts for all the other staff as well. For Consultant Doctors it will be much more difficult, as many of them work partly for the NHS and partly for Private companies. Jeremy Hunt knows that it is going to be really expensive to get Consultants to commit to 7 day rostered work for the NHS.

Sorry for creating the need for an edit - I didn't fore 'see' an issue.

You are one of the more polite members here so the occasional 'slip' is understandable, especially as you are in the 'trade'
