From an article in The Atlantic (that is behind a paywall):

“The (British) health service now has to spend more money settling maternity-malpractice claims than it does on actually providing maternity care. Many Brits can neither obtain an appointment with a publicly funded dentist nor afford a private one; in a 2023 survey, one in 10 reported doing DIY dental work, in extreme cases extracting their own teeth or gluing broken crowns back together.

Incomes can be shockingly low: Junior doctors recently went on strike for the 15th time in three years over their salaries, which start at just £38,800; the median salary for British civil servants is £35,680.”

From my dentist friend, Bob:

No wonder so many come to the states.  Have a good friend  who is one of two radiation oncologists at (a local hospital) who just retired.  The other oncologist told (the hospital administration) since he was now the only one that he wanted a salary of 1.4 mil.   They told him see ya!  They’re now looking for two.   Pay much better in US but some are really greedy.
