A few months ago I called and asked patient services if there were a waiting period to become friend with your provider and she said no. She also said there was no problems with giving gifts. She said she does it all of the time. So, I wonder who has created this waiting period. I think it is from someone in your circle, not your employer. I think they just backed that person. It is not right to do this to someone, but that isn't as bad as the awful treatment and the deception. Please, if you want nothing to do with me and stay around cruel people, please let me know. Because I do not think you are like them. They could be jailed for what they did, to both of us.
I would not retaliate against anyone you wanted to have kept from it.
