11:53Now PlayingBen Kentish and GP Dr Bob Gill debate the junior doctor's strikes as Ben brands them 'indefensible'.
Members of the British Medical Association are in the middle of a three-day strike which began on Wednesday, with more days planned in January as they demand a 35 percent pay rise.
Hospital bosses have claimed the strikes over the Christmas period have “fractured” their relationship with consultants and increased the risk of patients dying during action.
New analysis shows the walkout could see the NHS waiting list, which currently sits at 7.7 million, rise above eight million for the first time in history.
Of the 25 days of strike action already taken by junior doctors this year, analysis revealed that an average of 35,500 appointments were cancelled on each day.
