If you need to work on Friday and would be harmed by not working, then this is an excuse for missing the Friday prayer (Jumu'ah), even if someone else is available to care for the patient. However, if you would not be harmed by not working, then it is not permissible for you to miss Jumu'ah because of it, unless no one else is available to attend to the patient.
