I resent paying taxes to educate people for them just to leave NZ as soon as they qualify. I say give them the rise, as we loose half of the doctors we train. It would be much better than importing doctors that can't speak English. I like their latest tactics - give us the 30% or it will goto 40% !	Digby (677)

Excuse me if I am wrong but do not Doctors go through the education system and end up being a doctor. Once a doctor has qualified these days they may also have a student loan they may or may not pay off. For the record I have worked for my current employer for the last 13 years. In that time I have had a 4.5% pay increase on hourly rate. In my view I seem to going backward if you take into account inflation. But I also have to say that I never had a student loan that are now bigger than the two mortgages I ever had either. In fact I never had a student loan ever.	Sweep (90)

(If Sid Holland was here, there would be teams of volunteers in hospital corridors clipping the junior dr.s round the ears with pick handles.) The steady march of progress continues, so is it too much to hope that politicians will go on strike?	R2x1 (4628)

Has nobody had the experience of sitting through a junior doctor taking 45 minutes to take a history? And then a consultant comes along, takes two minutes to take the same history, makes a diagnosis and starts treatment... Screw 'em - they're learners. They can do the hard yards like any apprentice.

Give them what they want, we're screwed enough even if they stay, we can't really afford to lose them. As for wage and salary rises, I don't understand why people are paid a discrete sum, and not something that's worked out in relation to inflation, goods costs, and other variables. If peoples pay were readjusted every year, we'd all be in a better place. There are professions out there that are still paid the same $$$ as they were 20 years ago.	Thebananamonkey (7741)

Makes them happy, which in turn encourages them to stay, which in turn will provide us with better medical care in the near future, which in turn will re-instate our status as having first-world public medical care. The government however are idiots by giving the money to wrong causes. I would much rather give my money to doctors than a prisoner's Xbox or PS3 or TVs.	qazwsxokmijn (102)

660739	2008-04-21 05:12:00	Having just been through the process of donating an organ, I can speak from experience when I say that doctor's are (by and large) amazing . What they do, on a daily basis, is phenomenal, and seeing first-hand all the crap they have to put up with from their DHB's just makes them all the more amazing . That's not to say they should hold the country to ransom, but they deserve to be paid more than just about anyone else I think . Hospital food on the other hand . . . . . . :yuck: :yuck: :yuck:	nofam (9009)
