Illness: This is HealthTap's general answer board. This would not be the format to resolve your problem. You could consult with one of the physicians on the network. However, that would be up to the physician to decide if warranted.

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 can or cannot do a particular activity. An in-person exam gives confidence to the doctor's opinion.
