Solidarity with the junior doctors on strike - I really hope they keep fighting until they get a decent pay offer and major quality of life changes too.
You have to be so committed and dedicated to get into and through med school, but if you can't afford to live during your first years as a doctor (and don't forget they are often forced to move every six months) then you're going to become burnt out and disillusioned with the system. It doesn't matter how much they'll earn as consultants if they never get there.
The NHS is one of the biggest achievements of this country - we cannot let the Tories destroy it or have a two tier health system. And that relies on all the staff being involved being treated decently.
