"They take you on for five days, from Monday to Friday" so they don't need to pay for the weekend,"and the contract starts again on Monday"."People were dying and you didn't even have time to find out their name. You would leave in tears, while knowing that once it was all over, you'd be redundant again."

Medical residents, or specialists, working at Madrid hospitals recently went on strike over salaries which have still not reached the levels they were in 2009 when the last financial crisis took hold.
