    Medical community sold out around 1970s… Sure many medical professionals are decent people but the system as whole is corrupt PoS that can only handle physical trauma and certain set of deceases/issues are profitable.

    The whole you need a doctors note bullshit speaks for itself… how can a peasant afford a doctors note? Why should this peasant need to go see 200 bucks clown to get basic antibiotic script?

    Not to downplay mental health issues but it is only recently became accepted that over working is bad lol

      Maple-flavoured peasant here - Dr’s Note requirements make way more sense in a functioning healthcare system as a specific way of justifying medical-related leave. If I want to access workplace support for medical emergencies, or long-term leave, I don’t think it’s wild unreasonable that the employer wants to see some measure of proof that it’s legit.

      Using it to address general absenteeism as a starting policy for any day off is fucking stupid, but that’s on the employers and not the doctors.
