These doctors that work in hospitals might save your life one day and to me that's price less. NHS and schools are way behind on pay rises and have been for years. Government is to blame.
They’ll less likely leave the profession, which many have, including going overseas. This would retain staff. They’re incredibly understaffed as it is.
You are so narrow minded. A doctor in first year of career - an FY1, gets paid today 1/3 less value than an FY1 was 15 years ago. Is their work today less valuable than 15 years ago? Same goes for army, navy, air force - is their lives less valuable today than 15 years ago? PS I'm a 44 yrs old junior doctor. In 2009 I was better off.
Tbh, i was earning close to £15 per hour stacking shelves in a shop on a Sunday 10 years ago. I was putting handbags on shelves, clothes on hangers, sewing threads on shelves... So how is it that people who provide medical care, deal with blood, guts, pus, loony and violent people, etc, save lives, how is it that these people are paid £15 per hour? It's insane and crazy, and they should get a pay rise for that job. They are not robots, they are human beings and they do a very hard job and work very long hours, our lives are literally in their hands, they should be paid more than £15 per hour, ffs.
@@RoxanneLavender I don't think it's £15 per hour but I understand your point. What if the Co-op paid for you to study part-time, and upon completion of your traineeship you got a salary increase guaranteed until you earned 60k or even more if you worked in private supermarkets? You'd probably stay wouldn't you
Forget the support staff and the mic thing - James is not acting professional when he rudely and repeatedly shuts down his co-host. Good topics here, but I click of the moment James shushes the man beside him. Bye
I cannot abide James Whale, a childish man, who has made a career out of being rude, bullish & putting forward stupid arguments just to wind people up. This junior doctor was ill-prepared for (any!) interview - but another host could have made this much more interesting; listening to him shutting her down is annoying & getting angry with the production staff at the beginning - totally uncalled for.
The public sector is not financially productive; it's paid for out of taxation. It doesn't make a profit, it doesn't generate wealth. The higher a percentage of the economy that the public sector is, the higher the tax burden, which depresses the private sector, which is where the wealth and the taxes are generated. Public sector employees paying income tax is ouroboros economics; the 20% of their salary deducted in tax just goes straight back to the exchequer to be paid out again next month as part of their gross.
@user-re9mp2nh5e this is why they wont put the minimum wage up properly. Everyone's will have to go up from cleaners to surgeons. They cannot afford it, they've let it rot for 13 years. Covid finished it

@@tonydavies3511 ok, let me call her on her mob 🤦🏻♂️ You do realise, the strikes are there to bring attention that people are dying on normal days and the strikes are there to say that enough is enough and things need to change.
£20p/hr is ludicrous for a junior doctor. We need to stop sending billions to Ukraine, stop with the net zero nonsense and start paying valuable employees in society what they're worth.
I saw a programme the other day featuring a retired GP who now counselling and supports working GPs. He said that most of them don't want to work kind of hours he used to work because they can't cope with that kind of workload. Seems to be the norm across society.
simple way to make care better in the NHS, though no one wants to admit it, stop the millions of people coming illegally into the country and using the NHS for free.
Nah invest and put our tax money where it needs to go, the Tory’s spent 14 years starving our services and making it rain all over the UKRAINE and ISRAEL.
I'm calling BS on Junior Doctors earning a living wage. They already earn enough to live on and when they qualify it's a license to print money. Why should we, the taxpayers pay them more? What should be funded more is the medical schools, so that we have more people per year being offered places to study Medicine. To adjust the long term supply and demand balance. So that doctors pay can be reduced from the current levels whilst still being generous.
James Whale is such a prat at times. I think that Dr Mukherjee was trying to make the point that it has become normal for patients to wait 12 hours and more following triage. It’s not to do with skill or intelligence, people and the way illness reacts isn’t linear and the processes currently in place are cumbersome and take a person a long time to get through and do the various tasks patients require during their care journey
She just put her foot in it. If Doctors are going on sick leave because they can’t handle the pressures of the job. How exactly is more money going to help. The pressures will still be there. Maybe we’re recruiting the wrong types to the role. Maybe they should test a recruits ability to handle pressure, before spending thousands on training them, just for them to go on sick leave and demand more money. If the strikes were about recruiting more doctors, to relieve the current pressures, then I would understand. Although, the timing of these strikes is very odd. When no politician can address the issue with them 🤷🏼♂️

A significant amount of Doctor's children become Doctors. They are overwhelmingly privilaged in many ways. Privately educated, privilaged people don't need a 35% pay increase for any training job. A real slap in the face to people who are struggling to find jobs, struggling to maintain work and struggling to pay bills. By all means offer burseries to those who arent privately educated or own their own home bought by Mummy & Daddy but Privately educated people who lay in the middle of the roads claiming a climate emergency, and privately educated Junior Doctor's claiming a financial crisis, should not be pandered to politically or given 35% wage increases.
Didn’t they come into this profession voluntarily, knowing full well what the pay and rewards are. Also I thought it was a vocation rather than being all about the money.
My daughter is almost 16. Doesn't know what she wants as a career, but certainly knows what she does not - being a doctor. With two parents doctors from abroad, she spent an awful long time in day care, breakfast clubs and afterschool clubs and not much offered in return.

Wow the arrogance and misinformed young lady needs to grow up a lot. I worked in the nhs for ten years and doctors meddling in admin and budget areas were a major problem. They seemed to have no awareness of budgets and just plowed on as they thought best. The issue is the nhs gets plenty of money but nhs England is where the rot starts and the added layers of administration drains cash out the system along with labours pfi projects that last 30 years, as for the staffing shortages the bma and the rcn are just as at fault as the gov in limiting training places. With also adding Blairs drs contract negotiations messing the system up and causing far more doctors needed than before due to night call opt outs.
I agree. The lack of training places in Medical Schools is shockingly bad management. My son would have loved to become a doctor. He'd have made a great doctor. He failed to get in because there was too much competition for the places and he failed to jump through certain hoops that they use to decide who gets offered a place and who doesn't. With 35% more places offered to study Medicine, he'd have gotten in. And in the long term this would address waiting lists and help to keep the wage bill manageable.
I dunno, I know people earning £13 ph at Lidl. Not bad for a supermarket worker. Most clearing 2k a month. The skilled market wages hasn't budged in decades. Junior Docs should definitely be earning more than £15 ph.
1. Pay junior doctors £40 per hour 2. ? 3. Profit! I've heard from all my friends who aren't economists but are communists that 100% taxes and unlimited pay rises for the public sector will trigger the second coming of the Messiah and not a financial catastrophe.
James Whale and your rude sidekick shoudl try living on £15ph, always rude and nasty to a woman who deserves more respect. Being a bully is not clever at any time.
And she would have to be labelled as stupid if she had not researched what wage she would be earning. They choose the career knowing the wage then complain about it.
Respect for what. For being a middle class twat.,with an average brain 🧠 and more self importance than is the norm for one who has not even earned her qualifications yet.
I have used the NHS a lot in my lifetime in fact it's saved my life more than once. But the management is useless the money and time wasted is shocking, there's no sense of energy what so ever. One example is the day you leave hospital usually on that morning the doctor will tell you that you can go home, but in my experience you can then wait all day for your medication taking up a bed space. There's no sense of energy what so ever. Ask anyone that's been in hospital they will tell you the same,
The last time I was there (giving birth), I discharged myself as it was so bad. I told them my partner could take much better care of me at home, and he did. I nearly put in a complaint, but it was the same hospital that had saved my life 20 years previously, and I couldn't do it.
She is dim. Being able to jump through certain academic hoops at the age of 18 in order to get into Medical School does not necessarily make you clever. Clever where it counts for the important things in life.
I think it a generational thing. I worked in the NHS for years, as a nurse, I worked with junior doctors every day. Not one of them ever said they would neglect patient care by striking. They all put patient care at the top of thier priorities..worked very hard and studies hard. For junior doctors to strike is TERRIBLE. I do not agree with it on a matter of ethics and morals and the sttement of Do no harm.
£15 ph is a misnomer. How much do they actually earn per annum? I appreciate that they work long hours but their actual earnings are more than sufficient to live on, far more than many other people earn.
Say 48/h per week - 52 weeks a year = Take home of around £26,000. and you must understand this is a very taxing job, do you want someone who is on their 48th hour of the week taking care of your family?
I don't like how james interviews but junior doctors are just taking the piss now if they think pay them 35% and the nhs problems go away she is bonkers. But labour will pay it always do
What an absolutely abominable man, how dare you speak to the doctor like that, I agree with them striking, these guys wouldn’t work for £15 an hour. She is not to blame for the state of the NHS.
Tony Davies Iwonder what your thoughts were about the 30 Odd thousand Deaths of our Elderly ,Nothing to do with the Doctors that was down to the Incompetence. Or most likely on Purpose of Johnson and Hancock .
Perhaps, now that inflation has receded from a high level to around 2%, the rate of pay for Doctors ought to be re rated. At the present inflation level, the level of pay they wanted will be far closer to that which they were offered at the outset.
Tough. The rest of us who earn far less do not get to strike every time we have a tantrum. Nor do most of our wages go up annually. 60k a year, working 3 days a week with holiday and pension benefits....where the hell do I sign?!
This girl looks like she’s just out of nappies. £15.00 an hour she should be bloody grateful! From where I am when I’m at the hospital the doctors don’t seem to be doing anything! They google your ailments which is disgraceful. I can do that myself and assume that’s my problem.
£37,000 p.a. for a 1sr year junior doctor is the reality. Thats more.than what they would earn elsewhere with the years of study they have. My son after 4 years of studying and 3 years of work/study as a trainee accountant earns £32,000 p.a. GPs earn sumes of monet most graduates only dream about.
I think you're misinformed. Don't get me wrong £37k is a great wage but there are grads working at IBs, hedge funds or as quants earning 100k plus. Comparatively their studies were much less than medicine.
Same drs that told me I was a nutbag for complaining about the same and worse treatment in working class jobs in retail and car showrooms..I was told to grow up and move on and not to dwell on such things than they insinuated that I may have psychological issues and then try to say I should talk to someone. This belittling and patronising towards us working classes and our issues I feel is unforgivable. Now they are complaining about the same things. I worked in car showrooms as a service advisor it was my job to make sure the customer was given a safe car back to drive where the work was done correctly etc. Why didn't they feel sorry for me? Why didn't they see my values and problems?
My late grandfather was a doctor back in Bangladesh. His priority was to help people and save lives. He would never charge patients who were the most vulnerable and wouldn't even charge high fees to those who could afford it. People came first, always. He passed down this value to us, that no one is greater than another, regardless of education, profession, money, looks, culture, race or religion.
My wife has just been diagnosed with cancer, she was supposed to be going for a procedure this week but due to these people going on strike she is told now she will have to wait
@@kinggeoffrey3801 We cannot afford private I am glad you can. It matters not to me or my wife what they are paid. The fact is they are paid to do a job not continually strike. They either want to do the job or they dont. Oh and btw my son works in a massive hospital covering for some of these people.
It's not £15 per hour. My son is a junior doctor and his basic pay rate is £21.15 per hour. With Pay for additional hours above 40 hours, on-call allowance, weekend allowance and enhanced pay at 37% rate he earns £33 per hour on average through a 12-month period. Don't believe the BMA nonsense and striking doctors' propaganda. This strike action is purely political.
It's closer to £30 an hour. That's the rate for junior doctors, (how many 22 year olds earn that?!) when she's fully qualified in a year, her pay will more than double. Stop being soft, there are plenty of folk who work harder and longer for less.
My daughter is a dental nurse works long hours, and gets minimum wage, and she's not experienced enough to dictate money, and my daughter couldn't wear her scrubs anywhere only surgery, because of covid, but she turns up with them on in a studio, it's unhygienic I saw nurses going in shops during covid with uniforms on, but her as a doctor is not experienced enough
FIRST DO NO HARM. Yes, I believe junior staff both nurses and drs are underpaid. They also underpreform. 20+ years ago I started getting severe back pain, inc numbing in my leg. I was told it was because if my job. 2 years ago I had a spinal surgury to remedy a BIRTH DEFECT where oart of my spine wasnt connected. Im 51 and now a non ambulatory wheelchair user, the MRI i needed to diagnose the ignored issue was private laid for myself. The NHS is broken, both the institution and the moral of the staff, we need Reforn UK to fix it.
Striking by the medical profession is simply emotional blackmail. We all rely on medical expertise, but the reality must be faced by striking doctors. If you don't like the conditions, GET ANOTHER JOB ! I did years ago, when I was working 8 days a week. I found a better job - and have never looked back.
I normally agree with you James but I spent 7h in a&e because my partner needed a few stitches on a quiet night! and got out of there at 4am! The doctor talking is very right.
Ive been sent home from the hospital 2 in the morning by taxi at the cost of &50 the hospital paid for it same happend to my mum so how many other people
who is worth the higher wage a Politician or a Doctor in my mind a Doctor every time
Can't listen to him anymore, I'm off
Don't worry the w⚓ won't be around for much longer!
Even if you gave them the 35%, everything will be exactly the same.

Starting wage is not £15 an hour for junior doctors it is £27.99 per hour.
Still not enough, a handyman in London makes minimum £40p/hr
1. Pay junior doctors £40 per hour
2. ?
3. Profit!
I've heard from all my friends who aren't economists but are communists that 100% taxes and unlimited pay rises for the public sector will trigger the second coming of the Messiah and not a financial catastrophe.
What does a junior handyman make tho?
In Canada , starting salary is 150K Canadian. Which is about 100K American. Uk is so poor
She's taken off the tax, for added drama! Clearly she thinks she doesn't have to contribute to the country's purse either.
you should have asked her how large the NHS pension contributions are
James Whale and your rude sidekick shoudl try living on £15ph, always rude and nasty to a woman who deserves more respect. Being a bully is not clever at any time.
And she would have to be labelled as stupid if she had not researched what wage she would be earning.
They choose the career knowing the wage then complain about it.
Respect for what. For being a middle class twat.,with an average brain 🧠 and more self importance than is the norm for one who has not even earned her qualifications yet.
I have used the NHS a lot in my lifetime in fact it's saved my life more than once. But the management is useless the money and time wasted is shocking, there's no sense of energy what so ever.
One example is the day you leave hospital usually on that morning the doctor will tell you that you can go home, but in my experience you can then wait all day for your medication taking up a bed space. There's no sense of energy what so ever.
Ask anyone that's been in hospital they will tell you the same,
The last time I was there (giving birth), I discharged myself as it was so bad.
I told them my partner could take much better care of me at home, and he did.
I nearly put in a complaint, but it was the same hospital that had saved my life 20 years previously, and I couldn't do it.
A striking girl, who happens to be a Junior Doctor!
Not even Wes Streeting will give them a 35% increase.
Yes, the state of the nhs is awful - thanks to lazy doctors not working - 3 days a week is shameful...
Now only I understand why a lot of British Doctors are fleeing to Australia.
Jim Whale telling a qualified doctor that she is dim. Dr Mukherjee responded with a knowing grin. She is all class.
She is dim. Being able to jump through certain academic hoops at the age of 18 in order to get into Medical School does not necessarily make you clever.
Clever where it counts for the important things in life.
@@lint8391 You are selling her short. It takes brains, discipline and hard mental application to secure a medical degree.
A guy has just been payed more to berate a doctor on TalkTV than she’d be payed to save his life when fatty boom boom has a heart attack
I think it a generational thing. I worked in the NHS for years, as a nurse, I worked with junior doctors every day. Not one of them ever said they would neglect patient care by striking. They all put patient care at the top of thier priorities..worked very hard and studies hard.
For junior doctors to strike is TERRIBLE. I do not agree with it on a matter of ethics and morals and the sttement of Do no harm.
It's post March 2020 attitude
£15 ph is a misnomer. How much do they actually earn per annum? I appreciate that they work long hours but their actual earnings are more than sufficient to live on, far more than many other people earn.
Say 48/h per week - 52 weeks a year = Take home of around £26,000.
and you must understand this is a very taxing job, do you want someone who is on their 48th hour of the week taking care of your family?
Greedy lot.
She’s only been qualified 3 years. Spends most of her time on the TV or making RUclips videos ffs.
She can do whatever she wants on her days off!
@@thelleftaremad7556lol
@kilokahn_x3850 yes, I'd have plenty of spare time too if I only worked a three day week.
@@kilokahn_x3850shut up!
@@thelleftaremad7556😂😂💯
I don't like how james interviews but junior doctors are just taking the piss now if they think pay them 35% and the nhs problems go away she is bonkers. But labour will pay it always do
Then they’ll work overseas or change careers. That’ll make things way worse.
What an absolutely abominable man, how dare you speak to the doctor like that, I agree with them striking, these guys wouldn’t work for £15 an hour. She is not to blame for the state of the NHS.
Tony Davies Iwonder what your thoughts were about the 30 Odd thousand Deaths of our Elderly ,Nothing to do with the Doctors that was down to the Incompetence. Or most likely on Purpose of Johnson and Hancock .
She's Miss England 2019. She makes a good case.
I don't want her to be my doctor because of her ignorance.
The junior doctors have come out thinking they're good enough and owed top money when they're just learning! Put up and shut up.
You do it then.
Perhaps, now that inflation has receded from a high level to around 2%, the rate of pay for Doctors ought to be re rated. At the present inflation level, the level of pay they wanted will be far closer to that which they were offered at the outset.
Tough. The rest of us who earn far less do not get to strike every time we have a tantrum. Nor do most of our wages go up annually.
60k a year, working 3 days a week with holiday and pension benefits....where the hell do I sign?!
This girl looks like she’s just out of nappies. £15.00 an hour she should be bloody grateful! From where I am when I’m at the hospital the doctors don’t seem to be doing anything! They google your ailments which is disgraceful. I can do that myself and assume that’s my problem.
Who is the anonymous Geezer sitting to the right of the Whale, that keeps chipping in ?
We need more managers to manage the other managers.
That's the problem
Nursing and being a doctor is a vocation. Going on strike is an abomination so shame on you.
So a vocation should be badly paid?
@@jimmyhay47 no just don't work for the NHS expecting a huge salary.
£37,000 p.a. for a 1sr year junior doctor is the reality. Thats more.than what they would earn elsewhere with the years of study they have. My son after 4 years of studying and 3 years of work/study as a trainee accountant earns £32,000 p.a. GPs earn sumes of monet most graduates only dream about.
I think you're misinformed. Don't get me wrong £37k is a great wage but there are grads working at IBs, hedge funds or as quants earning 100k plus. Comparatively their studies were much less than medicine.
If she's one of the Country's brightest minds gawd help us.
Ive seen her before always on tv and doesnt give a frig about patients.
Same drs that told me I was a nutbag for complaining about the same and worse treatment in working class jobs in retail and car showrooms..I was told to grow up and move on and not to dwell on such things than they insinuated that I may have psychological issues and then try to say I should talk to someone. This belittling and patronising towards us working classes and our issues I feel is unforgivable. Now they are complaining about the same things.
I worked in car showrooms as a service advisor it was my job to make sure the customer was given a safe car back to drive where the work was done correctly etc. Why didn't they feel sorry for me? Why didn't they see my values and problems?
My late grandfather was a doctor back in Bangladesh. His priority was to help people and save lives. He would never charge patients who were the most vulnerable and wouldn't even charge high fees to those who could afford it. People came first, always. He passed down this value to us, that no one is greater than another, regardless of education, profession, money, looks, culture, race or religion.
£15 per hour - they're on more than me!! 😂
The more you're paid, the more your TAXED!!
She is striking indeed
she is very striking !
Simp
My wife has just been diagnosed with cancer, she was supposed to be going for a procedure this week but due to these people going on strike she is told now she will have to wait
My wife has the same issue so we are going private. But junior doctors should definitely be earning more than they are.
@@kinggeoffrey3801 We cannot afford private I am glad you can. It matters not to me or my wife what they are paid. The fact is they are paid to do a job not continually strike. They either want to do the job or they dont. Oh and btw my son works in a massive hospital covering for some of these people.
You get £15 an hour working in Tesco. How can he say that's fair? They study for 7 years and accumulate huge debt.
It isn't £15 per hour, that's an extrapolation on a number of factors.
They don't even get 12 pound an hour .
It's not £15 per hour. My son is a junior doctor and his basic pay rate is £21.15 per hour. With Pay for additional hours above 40 hours, on-call allowance, weekend allowance and enhanced pay at 37% rate he earns £33 per hour on average through a 12-month period. Don't believe the BMA nonsense and striking doctors' propaganda. This strike action is purely political.
It's closer to £30 an hour. That's the rate for junior doctors, (how many 22 year olds earn that?!) when she's fully qualified in a year, her pay will more than double.
Stop being soft, there are plenty of folk who work harder and longer for less.
Is Talktv owned by the Israeli Government
Yes
They chose to be doctors. They start low pay and it goes up to very good salary. They are asking way too much rise. 10pc is fair.
(Charles Bukowski) The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts and the stupid ones are full of confidence.
I Love James and Ash, great interviewers.
Look at how the 2 are talking to her with very little respect .That is also part of the problem
Doctors are too good and important to work 7 days a week. Pathetic. The arrogance of this woman is of the scale.
What a beautiful woman
I very often agree with James Whale but not this time.
James whale, I honestly don't care what you say I just love watching you ❤
They knew how much the pay was before they started
The nice chap with the beard lways gets a hard time on this show.. always gets put down by James and I would like to hear his remarks and comments...
"Oh, no, they were very quick"
I absolutely lost it at that.
socialized medicine is what we need here. SW
If they get a raise does that mean that they will work harder????
James go grazefully.the country wants your mate hes great
My daughter is a dental nurse works long hours, and gets minimum wage, and she's not experienced enough to dictate money, and my daughter couldn't wear her scrubs anywhere only surgery, because of covid, but she turns up with them on in a studio, it's unhygienic I saw nurses going in shops during covid with uniforms on, but her as a doctor is not experienced enough
FIRST DO NO HARM. Yes, I believe junior staff both nurses and drs are underpaid. They also underpreform. 20+ years ago I started getting severe back pain, inc numbing in my leg. I was told it was because if my job. 2 years ago I had a spinal surgury to remedy a BIRTH DEFECT where oart of my spine wasnt connected. Im 51 and now a non ambulatory wheelchair user, the MRI i needed to diagnose the ignored issue was private laid for myself.
The NHS is broken, both the institution and the moral of the staff, we need Reforn UK to fix it.
Does the NHS complain at the cost of the electricity they use or simply pay the going rate. If they don't pay eventually the power gets turned off.
Striking by the medical profession is simply emotional blackmail. We all rely on medical expertise, but the reality must be faced by striking doctors. If you don't like the conditions, GET ANOTHER JOB ! I did years ago, when I was working 8 days a week. I found a better job - and have never looked back.
I normally agree with you James but I spent 7h in a&e because my partner needed a few stitches on a quiet night! and got out of there at 4am! The doctor talking is very right.
Ive been sent home from the hospital 2 in the morning by taxi at the cost of &50 the hospital paid for it same happend to my mum so how many other people
Another entitled doctor who thinks they’re the brains of Britain 🙄
Why is she entitled?!
The pressure of being responsible to lives in your hands is worth more than £15 an hour. Bottom line.
Sorry, if I were a doctor I couldn't sleep at night knowing what the effects of my strike would have on patients.
Ash is an embarrassment. I bet she's not on £15/hour. If she doesn't like her salary i'm sure their are other countries who will employ her.
She is tricking 🫠
Divide and rule alive and well. The super rich laughing all the way to the bank.
They do a lot of training on low pay. Many years. Meanwhile, trades people etc can earn good money from a young age.
