The right wants to kill off the NHS. Striking doctors are playing into their hands

Serious question: if conditions were measurably better in UK hospitals would the pay issue matter as much? Given that doctors can earn incredibly high sums of money long into their careers such that I would hardly call them living in the breadline - if the working conditions were much better would they be striking?

I think it's interesting to ask because I have a friend in Spain who applied for a job in the UK. Junior doctor equivalent. She ultimately turned it down because she said "going from supporting an average of six patients each" in her current ward to "supporting potentially twenty" was a deal breaker. Forget the pay (which from the sounds of it was roughly equivalent). It sounded like an utter nightmare job to her. She has a young family so decided to stay put and, basically, be back at home in time for tea.

If Junior Doctors here only had to do overtime on the odd occasion and looked after fewer patients on average do you think they'd be striking over pay?
