I see. The most junior house officer post here pays £20, 000 for
a year (I think, 40 days
holiday entitlement), 56 hours a week max. It's more than £5000
more
in the second year, and continues to rise. There are supplements
of 20-80%
based on the number of hours worked pw in excess of 40, intensity
of work,
and unsocial hours work, the usual supplement's 50%.

and I can't see the US paying it (nor can I see the AMA being all
that ready to
endorse the scheme)
