UK doctors began a 3-day strike yesterday, in response to prevalent burnout and abuse, inadequate pay, and understaffing.
The walkouts will put more pressure on the NHS, which is already experiencing waves of strike action by nurses, ambulance workers and other staff.

Doctors are losing their hard-earned autonomy (years of degrees, med school, residency, internships, and the lot). Why would we let outsiders step in and try to run our own practices? Physician burnout is running rampant and patients are feeling neglected. Find out why MSOs are hurting more than they're helping!

Read this blog and make an official comment against kickbacks for Optum, CVS and other PBM and hospital tied GPO that PREVENT patients and doctors from securing the BEST drugs, devices, and medical supplies and cost Americans $200 billion per year. That's $$ that is used to lobby for independent practice for non-physician providers.
Public comment closes on Feb 16. There are suggestions in this blog for comments to make and a link to make the comments.
Physicians cannot obtain lifesaving drugs or solutions—like epinephrine, saline, or albuterol—for their patients. Over 200 drugs on the shortage list.
Shortages....Here in America. Hurting patients and especially the indigent. https://free2care.org/free2care-urges-you-to-stand-against-costly-killing-kickbacks/
