Today, my boss called and yelled at me because he said I was "spotted" out after I called off sick. I was out getting the medicine the doctor had just prescribed me. FML

Not only is your boss an idiot for jumping to conclusions, but whoever "spotted" you needs to mind their own business and get their facts straight.

You should go into work and get him sick

This must suck, OP. It's like one of those "get in trouble for calling sick, get in trouble coming in sick" FMLs. Hopefully you could show your boss the prescription date on the bottle (which for me, has time and date to the minute) so he'll forgive/ let you go.

Add some painkillers... To prevent a headache from your yelling boss

Take in the copy of your discharge report with the date, plus the prescription bag, and then tell him to knock it off or you'll see HR for harassment.

You should have shoved the prescription in his face.

this kind of reminds me of the show The Office when Dwight trys to catch the workers who took a day off

Bring your prescription and receipt to work. That should be more than enough proof

Who ever spotted you, should of been at work them selves, not trying to gwt others in trouble.

Geez is your boss gossip girl or something and got a tip of your location?

Perhaps you should show your boss your receipt for the medication? At least then you may have more credibility when you reexplain the situation.
