Letter from a doctor: A licensed medical doctor has great power to help patients avoid certain activities when they will be injured or harmed by that activity. Doctors give notes to keep people out or work and out of school, all the time. Your doctor has to decide whether you have a real problem or are just trying to avoid work or school for no good reason.
