"Doctors, lawyers, Bankers, accountants and you are looking at basic £400 to 500 K plus huge bonuses on top and pensions which are unbelievable."
Doctors hey? You must be frickin' kidding me! Do you know how much malpractice insurance we have to pay these days - especially in "high risk" specialities? You seriously wouldn't believe it.
Do you know how much it costs to run a practice - rooms, secretaries, dept collectors, staff, rents, phones, computers, instruments, etc.? Thought not.
You do realise that in private, you're "on call" for your patients 24/24, 365/365?
And that, unless you've spent years with the NHS, the only pension you're gonna get is the plan you started when you started? And Bonuses? Merit awards for a few NHS consultants who are politically lithe and arse-licking enough - nothing for the rest of us.
So don't give me that "Doctors" crap
Thank God my son didn't follow the family tradition.

Still, just as for pilots, there ARE a few sublime moments though
