Schools in my area require some kind of evidence from doctors for an absence of 3 days or more (appt. card with do) AIBU in thinking this a waste of GPs time? I don't always consult a doctor when my DS is ill- if I know what's wrong and he doesn't need treatment I wouldn't bother a GP. Feeling sensitive about this as school have just sent me an absence letter for a one day absence- I left a message on the answermachine as directed by the school but it wasn't noted down apparently. If he is sick I'm tempted to just get a GPs appt. but then cancel it that way at least I would only be wasting the (very busy) receptionists time.
