Dr notes for work

[alienplantnapper]

My emplyers have a copy of my diagnosis from my psych drs..
I had to take off today and have had to take off before due to ptsd issues..
They want a dr note but it is saturday ... do you guys have to go to the dr everytime you have issues and miss work?

I don't, but I have only missed about 10 days total in the 10 years I've been working for my current employer.
It's also well known that I don't drink. (Not suggesting anything about you, just that abstinence from alcohol just adds alot to ones credibility.)

Why not go to a walk in physician?
You don't need a diagnosis, just a note that says you made the effort to see a doctor. A physician is qualified to asses whether or not someone is overwhelmed with mental health issues.
