Sick burn

Today, I got the flu so I needed a sick note. The local doctor’s office has a sign outside saying, “DON’T come in if you’re contagious.” They are also completely unreachable by phone. Sooo, I guess I’ll… send a pigeon? FML

That's ridiculous. The point of the doctor is to be able to go when you're sick. My doctor has potentially contagious patients in the afternoon, so check-ups and others can be seen safely in the morning and mask policy at all times.

It may be time to look for a new clinic. I wonder why this one doesn't have a mask policy.

I have never understood how it's reasonable to get a doctor's note for proving you're sick. Usually if you work in a place where they don't trust you you probably don't make that much money. If you're really sick you don't want to go to the doctor. I have never gone to the doctor to get a note to prove I was sick. If they don't trust me they can fire me. Seriously even if expense isn't the issue most of the time when you're sick you just need a little time to rest. This is a waste of time for the doctor and you and it probably means you're going to heal slower assuming you don't get a prescription from the doctor.
