In a way I am very uncomfortable debating this issue, because my son is a doctor. However, I know for a fact that junior doctors are working those hours. My son works day and night; he never gets home and it is really tough.

Professor Crown put the facts in his supplemental comment. I do not get it. We train doctors, but we do not give them jobs and export them. The taxpayer forks out the money for this.
