I thort ur gp had to sign a return to work note ..... Did u go private or Nhs ?

Magsy · 20th February, 2012

Ah hun hope it gets sorted hun x

OOnion · 20th February, 2012

Some people are so jobsworth!! If your sicknote covered your period from hospital admission to discharge, then it is usually down to the GP to provide a "fit note" Med 3's are not longer used (old sick note) for your recovery period. I would ask your GP in writing (and quote your surgeon), and cc it to your boss asking for a "fit to work certificate". Have you seen the original note, as they have 2 boxes at the bottom, one says you do need to be seen again before return to work and the other says you don't, which should really cover you.
Good luck

Perhaps the surgeons secetary will fax a short letter to your place of work, phone up and start crying that should do the job. You have 3 days to try and get it sorted, i know they have the answer phone on a lot but she might pick up first thing?
NIGHTMARE!!!

Hi,
My work colleagues have been fantastic !!.. I had text messages and calls from them as I was coming round from the anaesthetic , you couldn't wish for nicer people, and some of them have seen me , but others haven't ...but I have gone from a size 32 to a size 24 in trousers in just 8 weeks so I'm sure they will be pleasantly surprised.

JO28172 · 23rd February, 2012

Glad you got it but your company was not being awkward for a laugh...they have a legal responsibility as your employer to follow the rules.orherwise they would have been risking their ar@e should something have happened! be grateful you work for a credible company who won't bend the rules to suit them!

This is so true I was back after 2 weeks and wasn't even asked if I was ok. And iam a key manager.

debbieb · 23rd February, 2012

Thanks, I know that my boss was just following council policy , but I just seemed to be caught in the middle of a vicious circle between my boss, the surgeon, and my gp....but thankfully it's over and I can go back to work...x

stuckinafatsuit · 23rd February, 2012

Its nice your work colleagues were concerned, mine were really nice to. When i went back to work all the children (i work in a primary school) were like "Miss where have you been, you look different" I just told them i had my tonsils out which will mean i can shout louder now! should have seen there little faces!
