Ultimately its a job.
Yes its a job with good bits and bad bits but its a job
Nobody was forced into it, nobody is being forced to do it against their will.
They took a conscious, educated choice to do that job.

Health service, national grid, supermarkets, bin men etc all the same.

I struggle to see the point in epic virtue signalling of people just doing their job.

The country is interlinked so much economically you can argue every job is a key job. There are huge fields where if everyone stopped working the knock on effects would mean everything stops shortly afterwards.

Yes today isnt a great time to be a health worker for sure. But it was a choice they made.

Separate that out from the NHS which isnt fit for purpose and hasnt been for some time.
Its grossly inefficient and despite receiving more funding per patient than many other services provides longer waiting lists, fewer treatments, fewer beds and higher mortalities.
Structurally from the bottom up in needs tearing down and rebuilding from scratch.
We now have the crazy situation where we've destroyed the economy and lives along with imprisoning the population for *a year* to "save" a service that clearly doesnt work that *WE ACTUALLY PAY FOR*.
As i said though, its a cult. No criticism is allowed so it will never ever improve. Simply throwing more and more money at it does nothing without huge reform.
