Junior doctor striking over patients receiving 'poor care'
By Beth Cruse & Harriet RobinsonA junior doctor has joined a national five-day strike because they say the NHS feels like an "abusive relationship".
"It's incredibly tough. We've got patients receiving really poor care despite our best efforts because there's no resilience in the system." The trainee doctor said the lack of staff, particularly doctors, means as soon as someone is off work ill, they are "stretched".Doctors in training are currently paid £14 an hour.
In Bristol, Dr Sam Taylor-Smith, the junior doctor committee chair for the British Medical Association's Severn region, said: "I don't think the average person on the street would mind a doctor looking after their loved ones to be paid £19 an hour.
