    The US president earns a $400,000 annual salary, along with a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account, and $19,000 for entertainment.

    I think this is quite low considering the job.

    Another case for giving our doctors and nurses more money if they're expected to work such a gruelling schedule.

    Or better again, just dont put someone in the position of working 95 hours a week

    The mother of a junior doctor who took her own life described her daughter's working hours as "immoral" following an inquest into her death.

    Dr Jessica Murphy (26) was found unconscious in her apartment at Exchange Hall in Tallaght, Dublin 24, on December 1 last year. She was later pronounced dead at Tallaght Hospital, where she was a junior doctor working in neurology.

    Dublin Coroner's Court heard that she had taken an "overwhelming" overdose of the anti-depressant amitriptyline.

    Her parents raised the issue of her working hours during the inquest, telling coroner Dr Brian Farrell that she worked 95 hours a week. Speaking following the completion of the inquest, Marian Murphy said that her daughter had been "put under too much pressure".

    "I used to say to her that 'it was wrong, that it was immoral that you are working all those hours' because I could see that the pressure was building up in her. She would say: 'But what will happen to the patients if I don't?'," she said.

    The inquest heard that Dr Murphy, who was originally from Ovens in Co Cork, had suffered from depression from the age of 17.

    Her father, Matt Murphy, said that while the family were aware of it, she "kept her distance" from extended relatives because she did not want people to know about it. She also suffered from "severe insomnia", he said, but resisted seeing a doctor about her difficulties.

    She began working as a junior doctor in Tallaght Hospital in July 2012. Mr Murphy said that his daughter was "very immersed" in medicine and enjoyed working at the hospital; however, she worked very long hours and this caused problems for her due to her insomnia.

    "I believe she was self-prescribing sleeping tablets and possibly anti-depressants in the days before her death," he said.
