Having friends is a massive comfort.

Keeping Everything crossed for your friends Lynn
I just found out tonight that one of the girls on my drs reception..we are friends, she has had covid, spent a week in hospital....will only get SSP so has had to have time off in lieu so she gets her wage and is having to go back as she doesn't get full pay on sick. Had it been our old gp in charge, she would have been on full wage...she has actually messaged my friend to check she is o.k and see if she needs anything...my friend isn't her employee anymore, the message she got off her boss..our gp, Ruddy disgusting, no concern for her, no asking if she was o.k or needed anything, awful!
