They are poorly paid relative to the USA but not relative to other European countries. They can expect a pension of 75% of their salary. Unlike the USA, there is no competition for patients. We have little choice in our general practitioners and they have no incentive to service their patients. Our NHS is falling apart and the strike at this time will speed up the process. The strike us a political move against the Conservatives rather than a real issue about money. All is not what it seems as with so many things these days.
