I am talking about people who blame it on workplace stress. I am not talking about someone who has had some kind of breakdown due to a death in the family or something like that.
"As certified by a medical professional" means nothing to me, as again, we all know of doctors who will give a cert for anything.
I agree with Brendan.
My wife (a doctor) nearly lost her job when she worked as a locum for refusing to give a sick cert to a friend of the Doctor who owned the practice. There was nothing wrong with the man.
Some do.I I think the point is that docs don't just hand out certs to anybody and everybody
Good idea but I can't see it working; they would just close ranks.If there is an endemic problem with doctors giving out unnecessary sick certs, then surely there must be some way of addressing it. The large/medium employers could easily track the certs to find the culprit doctors, and complain to the medical council or elsewhere if necessary.
Your ignorance of work related stress is sad in this day and age.I am talking about people who blame it on workplace stress. I am not talking about someone who has had some kind of breakdown due to a death in the family or something like that.
Having watched the recent Whistleblower drama on TV, I can only say 'Shame on the entire profession' if there would be any closing of ranks around a matter so (in the overall scheme of things) trivial'Good idea but I can't see it working; they would just close ranks.
I agree. I could say alot more but I don't think Brendan would be too happy.Having watched the recent Whistleblower drama on TV, I can only say 'Shame on the entire profession' if there would be any closing of ranks around a matter so (in the overall scheme of things) trivial'

Yeah - TV dramatisations based on the facts of extreme cases but including a lot of dramatic license are a good way to make balanced judgements on such issues alright...Having watched the recent Whistleblower drama on TV, I can only say 'Shame on the entire profession' if there would be any closing of ranks around a matter so (in the overall scheme of things) trivial'
