To be fair, those 4 years later have been quite remarkable years haven't they - if there'd been more 'boom' and less 'bust' during that time and the years leading up to it, this wouldn't have happened. We're staring at financial meltdown here. I think we all, doctors included, have to accept that the pace of change (economic and social) has never been greater, the 'rule book' is having to be rewritten and will probably need reviewing far more often than ever used to be the case. If it turns out that things improve well then there'll be time and a case for pensions etc. to be reviewed again and ehancements made according to the financial conditions of the time. No it isn't fair and I have every resepct for doctors but I that's where we're at sadly and medics aren't going to be the only ones whose plans for their future are scuppered.
