having helped to cover these ongoing strikes there’s no doubt about it, it’s way harder being an SHO now than it was even only 7 years ago. Too many patients with way too much paperwork, the medicine and surgery “decision making” takes 2 minutes, the admission paperwork an hour.

the queues of people trying to get through the airport is probably a good way of representing the number of people on waiting lists in desperate need of their surgery. The difference is you can see the queues at the airport, you can’t see people suffering at home!
