> Healthcare professionals are paid much more compared to the average UK citizen. Especially doctors, the average pay (100k pounds)

This is just utter nonsense. The average UK salary is around £30,000. Nurses can expect to earn anywhere between £22,000 and £30,000.

Junior doctors (which a new doctor can expect to be for somewhere around 5 years) starts at £23,000 increasing to somewhere between £30,000 to £45,000. GP's earn around £75,000.

Where do you get your numbers from? Judging for how off your data is for GPs[0] I don't want to imagine about the others.
