We are there because we love helping people. There is no doctor on the planet would would say that they join the job just because of pay. We want to help. We want to save lives. We want to make people healthy and safe. As a result of that.
The thing that we realise most, and the thing that is the most important thing to remember, is that if we didn't strike today, the NHS in three, four, five years' time is going to be a heck of a lot of a worse place to be, and those patients.
You open the phone and then oh I can just try that and before you know it an hour is gone and you know and and it's eleven p.m. and you still haven't gone to bed so so so a good suggestion that I've that I've heard is that if you have an old phone and I do have an old smartphone that I use when I when I travel.
