I don't often support strikes but doctors in the UK get £14 per hour. In comparison with other professions it is a pittance. They work twelve hour shifts and are exhausted. Nurses and carers are also poorly paid. Perhaps the stick insect aka Sunak could give them some of his millions. Are doctors well paid in your country

It is the same for doctors who work in hospital in Italy. When those who have private offices earn plenty of money. Doctors and nurses are very well paid here.

@Gilljane We have plenty of nurses and doctor coming here to work every day from Italy. We also have several nurses from Spain and Portugal, but it's easier for Italians, we speak the same language.

I guess that’s the consequences of socialized medicine because in America they make WAY more than that. Doctors here merrily clean up financially while making you go into debt to pay your medical bills.

That is terrible. People here pay a National Insurance tax. The more you earn the more you pay. The lady up the road from me has never worked so never paid any taz. She too is entitled to health care

That's not good. The government needs to reimburse them for a higher wage. I make more than that doing very little.

Doctors in private practice earn a lot here in the US. I know nurses earn a lot in hospitals....I would imagine doctors do too. Have a good day.
