Doctors
3 Answers
Is it just me being simple, or does it not make sense that doctors are being told to hold evening surgeries because they're earning too much, but then they're allowed to charge �20 a go for it????? What next, writing out cheques on planes before they'll answer to a call for a doctor on board!!!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Being ill is not a does not follow office hours of 9 til 5, so there should be access to a doctor 'outside of office hours'. The Governement recently re-negotiated doctors' contract's and doctors agreed to work more for a substantial increase in pay. Most got an extra �20,000 but unfortunately for us, they did not undertake any extra hours. The contracts were so badly drafted, that they have got away with a massive fraud.
Instead of making the doctors do what they agreed to, a senario is now being proposed where they will only see you if you can stuff thier grubby mits with fivers (x 4).
In France, doctors are paid a quarter of what we pay them, and the service they provide is far superior.

I don't think doctors are underpaid at all, I wouldn't do that job for �100k a year! it's a crappy job, with a huge amount of training and a huge amount of resposibility. The NHS cuts aren't because doctors are being paid too much, in fact Sky News claims that there is a �500 million surplus in the budget. So it's just that wire-haired-man-goblin, Patricia Hewitt making an arse of it. Again.
Being a doctor in todays world is less about caring and more about money......the more of it for less work the better.They seem to have thrown their principles to the wind as they dish out medicines like sweets in the latest trends getting hand outs from the pharmacutical for every prescription they write....it is hardly surprising that they now want to start charging us to see them after a certain time in the evening. Disgusting
