BOOM TIMES FOR HOSPITALS : With trainee, apprentice, so called Doctors on strike AGAIN one of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s staunchest defenders has hit back at what he calls “the unpalatable ingratitude of the medical class”.
Speaking on Radio 4’s Yesterday programme in the prime 08:10 slot, Tory MP for Bearing Downs, Rodney Dear, blasted striking doctors.
“I’ve been a right honourable member since 2005,” Mr Dear explained, “and in that time I’ve seen the behaviour of the so called medical profession deteriorate faster than a spoiled boy denied a second gelding for his fifth birthday.”
It seems Mr Dear is expressly aggrieved over the “untoward barrage of criticism” from Junior Doctors directed at the Prime Minister.
“You think of just how much money the Prime Minister and his family have pumped into the medical profession over the years? How much all Tory MPs have? My private medical bill for last year alone was £100K. Although happily a lot of it was gratis because my clinic knows how to reward loyal customers and nothing I say in parliament is related to that.”
Mr Dear thinks Doctors need to “take their stethoscopes” and listen to their own chests. “Is there a heart beating in those grasping torsos?” he demands to know. “If there is it must be very small. Who could watch a candid movie of Mr Sunak taking time out of his busy schedule to buy mince pies for medics and still think he doesn’t care? It is all very hurtful.”
And for any Doctors still wagging their fingers at 10 Downing Street the Sunak loyalist has another two pence to offer.
“The last Labour government almost destroyed the medical industry in this country. Did you see what was happening to customer lists at hospitals across the UK? Plummeting. Some NHS trusts were in danger of going out of business all together. But thanks to fourteen years of Tory management there’s not a hospital in the country that doesn’t have eager customers lined up out of the doors and down the block. The doctors might want to think about that next time they start moaning that they’re underpaid. Thanks to the vengeful EU many sectors risk going bust now we are sovereign nation again, but not the medical profession. More customers every year. And they can thank all Tory MPs, past and present, since 2010, for that!”
Doctors, it’s about time you stopped moaning and got back to work, your backlog won’t clear itself.
