    "content": "When we speak to these doctors, they do not understand how these things are not getting through to people. How can they spend a whole three months explaining to you what a medical intern is, but when you stand up here, you say, “Ooh! we should be standardizing and paying them the way we pay pupils at a law firm.” It is extremely frustrating and I am sure even now she is losing her mind where she is and I am hoping that I can channel some of that energy that I am sure she is going through right now. When she sees Members of Parliament saying: “Oh, now the government has no money” and yet we are looking to hire people called Chief Administrative Secretaries (CAS); from which resources are we going to pay these people? Doctors tell me every day that they have tried to explain what a medical intern is. They have to bend down to some of these low levels and explain what a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) means. They have to explain the continuity of Government, a basic concept. They have to explain basic things, which is frustrating for them. When I hear people here say that they should sit down and talk, I talk to these doctors, and I can assure you that they have gotten to a place where they have experienced a serious mental block. There is a serious intransigence on the part of the Ministry."
