Dr. exam, then note: A doctor can write a note after doing an in-person exam. Generally, doctors do not write notes (such as work-excuse or school-excuse notes, or back-to-work or back-to-school notes) without an exam. That is because a doctor's note is his written, signed, professional opinion, on whether a patient should or can do a particular activity. An in-person exam gives confidence to the doctor's opinion.

Not realistic: Consultations that might benefit from meds or a note are not realistic through this public site or the USA based premium service. They would require a doctor licensed in your country and such notes must stand up to legal scrutiny. An exam, vital signs & records are part of that process. Contact a local doc to arrange this type of service in person.
