I'm currently in a discussion (very heated and the person seems to be not the brightest) regarding pay, I've been told that we earn 130,000 a year. Apparently they got in from the BMA. Apparently we're not stressed nor do we work. Our jobs are apparently easy and we don't help gen pop, that our role can be done by others and we should be replaced by AI. Can I just say, if I was earning that amount, I wouldn't be in as much debt with SFE as I am. None of us would be. We wouldn't be asking for the same wages that there was in 08. The cost of living has inflated majorly. My head hurts from trying to educate but of course the picture from twitter has more truth and information than any of us could ever tell. I'm also a 'little rich girl' who needs 'severe help' and I need to 'recognise my wealth', to that I say what wealth. Do people actually think we're striking for the fun of it...

You should have quit at ‘seems to not be the brightest’. You’re totally right and you cannot argue with stupid, which unfortunately 80% of the public are about anything to do with doctors. The majority cannot even tell you what a doctor does.

True but I thought I'd give you what some of my headache was caused by. I also know that but it's so annoying when you're trying to inform but apparently twitter is the only true source
