I think you may be over-stating the case a bit with talk of pariahs, leeches and such there, Bill.
But no doubt those of us on the Outside
do sometimes get a bit wearied by the incessant
bleating from those working within the NHS about their already generous pay and conditions.
And ... indeed, why
should blokes expect an increment (annually, we assume) "just for turning up"?
Some of you guys might like to try the Real World for a while (which may well translate, as things stand these days, to being out of work) - then perhaps you'd realise how well off you actually are!
