injuried abroad

Post by BTS »

Hi, I have broken my left toe, doctor says I might need a surgery as the bone is broken in multiple pieces...
I am due to go back to work on Monday,I think I will have to stay away from UK for a while before I can go back on a plane.
What's the best procedure in this situation? post a sick note from here?
Thanks in advance for any help

That's probably the lamest excuse I've ever heard.

Nice and sunny on the beach is it :hmmmm
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

I have been talking with the Airline CS and they may refuse me on the plane with a cast/splint, since I had a micro surgery done I prefer the Surgeon will give the final opinion if fit to go back to work rather than a generic NHS practitioner.

Those nice people at ATOS will now set out to prove that you are, in fact, right footed.
An injury to a left toe will then be deemed not to be an impediment to carrying out your duties. :chuckle
