But, then again, I have to reflect on the fact that as a public servant I never had to face harsh realities in the way you were. I guess that people like myself prostituted ourselves for the common good, whereas people like you had to run and pay for the brothels.
We come from different worlds and have lived in different worlds and probably still do.

For me it's been one hell of a ride and still is. From academia to engineering to software engineering then software engineering manager to program development manager to project management and finally project director on a couple of big hairy programs and early retirement. Throw in a couple of sabbaticals en route ----

In all of that you do what you gotta do.

Seems the sensible thing to do, then Carol can be sure of the correct procedure for another time.

GP Surgeries and hospitals around here all have notices up asking us to still wear masks before we enter.

When you say its a matter of choice, Tabs, maybe it is a matter of choice for the docs/hospitals too - and they have chosen to ask us to wear a mask still.

I must say i wouldnt be happy sitting in a waiting room full of strangers without masks on.

Carol, you should be able to see who the practice manager is on the surgery website.
I would contact him/her and explain what you were told, and ask them to clarify their rules so there is no misunderstanding next time.

Re: Bad start...

Thanks Mups. I looked on the website & the practice manager is a man.

Jazzi I have taken your advice & written a complaint addressed to the practice manager. I shall hand it in at reception when I go for my shingles jab tomorrow.

Re: Bad start...

You shouldn't have to wear a face mask anywhere if you have an exemption. Apparently the exemption letter should come from your gp!

At reception?! LOL!

Okay, well if you must, then try to ensure you hand it into the same receptionist, and rubber stamp the envelope in big black capitals saying:

"COMPLAINT AGAINST YOUR RECEPTIONIST IN ORDER TO HAVE HER DISMISSED FOR GROSS INCOMPETENCE AND VICTIMISATION".

But try not to make it look too obvious otherwise she might tipple!

Good for you.

Clarification is essential to patients.
