This week 45,000 junior doctors took part in the first all-out strike in the history of the NHS. Junior doctors and Telegraph readers on both sides of the debate shared their views in the Telegraph newspaper. There were many interesting submissions. Some key themes were: –people feel used, burned out, ill-treated and are showing it; some patients and even some senior doctors are even angrier. –polls show there is an even split between those in favour and those who think it is dangerous, arrogant, and wrong. –it's not clear how this contract will actually help the seven-day NHS come into being. Certainly it isn't enough on its own. Instead, it may merely be a way of cutting costs. –it’s not clear how the new contract will endanger patient safety, or lead to doctors being more tired than they are now, even though many doctors say this.
