Letter: Mr Dobson, this is unfair
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.MEDICAL students enter their courses with a clear vocational intent and a willingness to spend up to six years of study before qualifying. They are among the most able of their peers and could have opted for shorter degree courses and early entry to other well-remunerated jobs. That they don't do this is evidence of a deeply founded commitment to medicine. When they become house officers such commitment is exploited by the NHS where everybody knows they have to work long hours in a demanding and stressful environment. Is it not to be expected that some can't take the strain and leave while others exercise the right that we all have - to move jobs? Isn't it about time Mr Dobson valued doctors a little more?
