A London doctor has left people shocked after revealing the amount he gets paid per month after nearly a decade of training.
From working long hours to suffering consistent cuts from the government, people know how much hard work being an NHS worker is.
You could also argue things are even harder for London doctors, seeing as the city is one of the most expensive places to live in the world.

And one doctor has revealed how he pay doesn't exactly reflect his hard situation by sharing his payslip.
Doctor Souradip Mookerjee took to Twitter this week to post the payslip, as many were left stunned.
He wrote: "My salary as a doctor in London working 40 hour weeks after nine years of uni at Cambridge and a PhD."
It shows that after tax deductions, he takes home just £1,671.47 for the full month.
Considering that the average rent in London is £935 per month, it doesn't exactly leave him with much.
People were so shocked that they asked Souradip about the taxes he's paying.
He shared a screenshot showing that there was nothing out of the ordinary – just his national insurance, NHS pension and student loan.
One baffled person asked: "Is there a London weighting? £1,671 would only just cover rent and public transport in London," to which Souradip replied, "This is including London weighting and you are correct."
Another asked: "This is per week, right? Right?", as Souradip replied: "Per month."
A third chimed in: "I don’t believe that, that is your monthly wage?," as he retorted: "Unfortunately yes."
While a fourth said: "I worked as a nurse for 45 years and am totally appalled by this.
Another person shared their payslip from 13 years ago in 2010 when, like Souradip, they were a first year doctor.
Shockingly, their wage was a few pound more at £1,677.02.
Summing up the disbelief, another Twitter user exclaimed: ""This is outrageous! I cannot believe that a highly educated, highly skilled person with such huge responsibility can be paid so little.
"You and everyone who works in the NHS deserve so much more."
