Seeing a doctor for a sick note for a cold or flu is definitively not a great use of patient care. However if a patient has a medical appointment, why is it so hard to get a note on any scrap paper for an employer that says “patient should rest for x days then will be reassessed” due to surgery or “patient has x or y limitations / restrictions”. No confidential information on it.
Feels like getting notes to support substantiated accommodations is difficult and a long process. Most doctors don’t just write a simple note on a paper like a prescription for employers. That would be useful.
