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?

    Interesting, I have often doctor appointments for my son and they always just print out a page. It’s like to whom it may concern (kid name) was seen by (doctor) on (date). They were accompanied by mother and father. Any questions contact (doctor) at (phone number).

    Basically identical with every doctor. I find it especially funny that some times for various reasons either I don’t go or the mother doesn’t go and every letter says both of us were there.

      I was talking exclusively about work. For school it’s usually not needed at all, only in cases where the child is going to be absent for a long time - or if the school decides that a child has been sick too often.

        Everytime I take my son to the doctor they offer them (usually multiple copies). He has a lot of health conditions so yeah it’s often and across a lot of doctors, all do this but it seems useless.
