 A Real Doctor’s Note .. What Are The Details?


How much time do you spend worrying that someone might not believe your excuse for missing work, school, or an event?

Do you ever lie awake at night wondering if the person who cut in front of you at the grocery store is going to yell "fake" the next time?

Are you tired of coming up with creative stories about why your belly hurts or why you missed a day of work or study?

Never fear! A Real Doctor’s Note has put together this blog post all about what really needs to be included in a note from a doctor. We also have tips on how to fake it like a pro so that no one will know what happened.

A Real Doctor’s Note is an online medical service that writes notes for patients who need to take time off from school, work, the gym, etc. We cover a wide range of excuses for people of different ages, professions, and lifestyles.

With our service, you are guaranteed to get a note from a real doctor at A Real Doctor’s Note (just like the name says). Our job is to provide support for those who need to tend to their health in some way and can't make it out of the house.

That’s what we do.

So, here is some medical advice for you...

First things first: Doctors need to know everything that has been going on with their patients. Not just the symptoms and how long they have been going on, but also why the patient did not seek treatment sooner. Be sure to include some information about previous injuries or illnesses that may help the doctor put things in perspective.

Whatever it is you need a note for, with our service, we will ask you some background questions to make sure your excuse makes sense. Our customers are of all ages and professions so we can tailor our recommendations to fit your specific needs.

Next, here’s what the doctor actually writes on the note…

We use the current “house style” at A Real Doctor’s Note . If you want an old-fashioned, friendly letterman type of letter from a medical professional then you may be better off looking for someone else.

It is best to use short, concise sentences. The note should be easy to understand and should not have too many medical terms. If you need something like an explanation of a medical condition that is involved in your excuse, we can recommend a healthcare professional who can do this for you.

Quick note: You may be wondering why this doctor is writing this note in such a way. The reason is that there are some people who believe if they do not show up for work regularly their boss will think they are hiding something important from them.

With that said, here are a few key things to remember when it comes to writing your own note from a doctor:

Key things that need to be included:

Time off work/school/event – Start by giving the reason for your absence. For example, “Mrs. Jones will miss work on Wednesday May 23rd due to illness”. Also include if this time is the whole day or if you must take time off in shifts (breakfast, lunch or both). You should also indicate how long you need off and whether that time is contiguous (one full period of time) or intermittent (multiple shorter periods of times). Set expectations for coming back. For example “Mrs. Jones expects to return to work on Monday May 28th at her usual time”.

Medical condition or injury – Describe the injury or condition that requires you to take time off work/school/event. For example, “Mrs. Jones will miss work on Wednesday May 23rd due to a right wrist sprain”. Also include if this is your full day or if you must take time off in shifts (breakfast, lunch or both). Show how long you will be out and set expectations for returning. For example “Mrs. Jones expects to return on Monday May 28th at her normal time” .

Proof of symptoms – This is telling the doctor that you have this injury or condition. For example, “Mrs. Jones has a history of wrist sprain and is currently experiencing pain, swelling and throbbing in the right wrist” .

Treatment plan – Showing what you are doing to help manage and take care of yourself. For example, “Mrs. Jones will apply ice for 15-20 minutes every 1-2 hours for 3 days followed by heat for 15 minutes once daily for 2 days” .

Disposition (Dx) – This basically means that the doctor thinks that you are in need of some type of treatment or further examination. For example, “Mrs. Jones will be seen by a specialist for follow-up tomorrow to determine the severity of her ankle sprain” .

The doctor will often include more information than just this, but it is critical that you refer to the medical record when looking at your medical history. For example, “Mrs. Jones has had a history of wrist pain and has been prescribed Ibuprofen 200 mg daily” .

Does this all make sense? If not, don't worry. Please reach out to us if you have any questions. We are here to help!To know more about A Real Doctor's Note visit: www.a-realdoctorsnote.com.
