YMF at 12.46 - it’s astonishing isn’t it?
I sincerely hope Hymie is wilfully not getting it rather than actually not getting it, because if it’s the latter it really is quite concerning.
New Drs earn £30k. As a starting salary that ain’t bad, but that aside, newly qualified people starts at the bottom shocker! We all did.
It’s my understanding that all Drs under consultant level are considered “junior” Drs, so that includes registrars. A registrar’s basic goes up to about £60k, add in the overtime and I suspect that’s easily nudging £100k. Add their private work (I had my wisdom teeth out in a PH under a general and the surgeon was a registrar) and I’d imagine they could be nudging, say, £150k…at least.
It has become very boring that naive people have fallen for the fallacy that our “heroes” and “angels” are poorly paid. They ain’t.
Not quite the heroes and angels the way people deified them during Covid are they when they strike and put people’s lives at risk?
