Obviously like prescriptions are different to ensure safety and dosages and such. I mean like the notes to show that you or your child actually went to the doctor. Has anyone ever called like “hi, yeah so I just wanted to confirm my employee John saw your employer yesterday and confirm they are a real doctor”

I can’t imagine any manager actually has enough free time and enough pettiness to actually do that, am I wrong?

    I was an Army Social Worker and I did confirmed appointments for soldiers.

      Any appointments or just special ones? Like if a soldiers went to a doctor for a stomach ache? Or just if they got all the shots to travel to the Congo?

        I only reported if they had an appointment at the clinic I worked at. All we were allowed to tell the soldiers command is the date and time and location of the appointment, no other details.

        When your in the army, your command can verify any appointment you (a soldier) has. So while i don’t know of any “sick call” reporting, i am sure that happened.

          Ok, I’m not a soldier but that seems to lack the important detail of of they went. You said date, time, and location but their presence is important.

            Command is obligated to maintain accountability of their soldiers, but knowing details of medical issues gets tricky.

            If a soldier has a medical issue that prevents them from doing thier duties there is a process to communicate that. It is called being on profile. Say a soldier injured their wrist, they would get a profile that would say no lifting, or operating machinery, etc.
