It's all just a load of over hyped bks. The numbers involved are tiny.

As for working long hours in a difficult job... Cry me a fking river. We know it's tough, but so are plenty of other jobs for less money.

My work mates are going to be doing 13 hour days with one day off every 2-3 weeks until nearly Christmas. Some of them earn less then a nurse's starting salary, and most of them less than the £30-£35k that the mid to higher grade nurses apparently earn.
But they're undervalued angels on the front lines. They deserve more hehe
