Pull previous DR's notes?

[Updog07]

So, my knee and leg are messed up...swollen really bad for about two days. I go to the doc today who orders me an ultrasound to check for blood clots. No clots. Thank God. I'm getting an X-ray of the knee tomorrow. I get a note for work tonight and call in to my supe. He says to make sure to bring my note and that he's got to pull any previous notes. What's that about? I haven't even been out sick recently.

You do not need a note.

Don't worry about it. If you've missed more than a few days due to your situation he wants to account for the days missed. If you've nothing to hide and would normally take a note in, take a note in.

You don't need a note for missing one day.

I never realized that they kept previous expired doctor's notes but, yes, those would need to be pulled when you hand in a new one.

How many doctor's notes are we talking about here?

You don't need a note for missing one day.

Even if he is unable to perform his usual duties without restriction?

According to what I recall from reading in the contract, you only need to have a note for missing three consecutive days or more. Don't quote me on it because I'm not 100% sure where I read it, but for a single day it is not necessary to have a dr note.

Most likely they will want to send you to one of their doctors who will probably turn around and say that there is nothing wrong with you go figure.

He has two swollen knees which are preventing from performing his duties to his capability, hence the request for the doctor's note.

He doesn't need to tell them that for any reason if he expects to return within a couple of days.

What I don't understand is why they didn't do the x-ray that day. Come back for an x-ray? What kind of place is this?

It is very hard to get an accurate reading if the joint is swollen.

Would not put it past their doc to claim
"could not duplicate problem, OK to work"
