I have a relative who's a surgeon. She was previously in the forces and worked at Camp Bastion amongst other places. I can't imagine the sights she saw, the injuries she dealt with and the life-changing decisions she had to make. Whatever she was paid, it probably wasn't enough.
She's now back working in the NHS and doesn't do any private work.
