E Minor is about to leave for France to wrok as a sous-chef.
His employer wants a medical certificate. However, the GP refused to issue one, because he can't tell that the lad is healthy/not a health hazard, without a full check up, including blood tests.
The wording supplied by the employer is:-
I, the undersigned Doctor............... hereby certify that the person named abovepresents nomedical contra-indications that would prevent him/her from fulfilling the responsibilities of the job outlined above. As far as I am reasonably able to determine, he/she also has no infectious diseases/conditions that might compromise the health or safety of his/her colleagues or clients.
In addition, when he made the appointment, the receptionist told him that he would be charged at £200 per hour. We know that there is a charge for certificates, but WTF?
E Minor is trying to find a solution through the company that will be employing him. Meanwhile, I will talk to a friend who is a GP (elsewhere).
...reasonably able to determine... it's not like being under oath in a criminal court...
Comments, please.
