Guardian NHS blog:
Anyone with access to Google will be able to tell you that doctors are among the most well-paid professionals. The first results that pop up tell you how many GPs are earning more than £100,000 per year, or that David Cameron is less well-remunerated than doctors in the NHS.
I have just started my second year as a qualified doctor and the reality is quite different. There’s no questioning that we are well-paid (an annual salary for someone at my stage would normally be £35,000 to £40,000) – but it’s what do we have to do to earn our money. I live with two of my friends who I went to secondary school with, neither of whom work in a medical specialty. They both work in the City with jobs that allow them to be home to watch Pointless and they both earn a similar amount of money to me.
