The BBC asked two junior doctors in England to show us their payslips and reveal their salaries.
In reality, that term - junior doctor - covers someone fresh out of medical school right up to those with a decade or more of experience. And pay is complicated, with salaries varying massively as medics move up grades when they become more skilled and start to specialise.
Robert is paid a basic salary before tax of about £2,450 a month for a standard 40-hour week - or just over £14 an hour. Then there are additional roster hours - which are compulsory - taking his average working week to 48 hours.his pay will go up in October in two ways: a straight 6% pay rise and £1,250 permanently added to annual salaries - both backdated to April.
There are other deductions including £257 - or 9.8% of his wages - for a pension, with the NHS contributing 20.7% under the latest career average scheme, more than most private sector pensions. "And then managing the acute stay ward, making sure the children were getting their treatment, accessing and booking scans for them."Kiran has taken three years out to have children herself, and is now working part-time while she looks after her young family, meaning her training - and her time as a junior doctor - has been "elongated".
"I can't just leave a sick patient because it's unsafe, and it's not fair on the people who are already fighting fire on the next shift," she adds.
