Let me get this straight. Your doctor wants your dad to write his own note and your doctor will sign it, but your doctor will not write the note himself? What kind of doctor will not write his own patient a note?!

SoCali E36 · 02-13-2010, 02:38 AM

Ok, I guess. I interpreted it as the doc was forcing him to write his own note

Hows this for try...

I, _______________, am the attending physician of ___________________, I am recommending that _______ works in a physiologically and physically stress-less environment. If he can have a quiet, warm, draft free, comfortable permanent workstation, if possible by his choice. Due to his current medical condition he can not and shall not lift any object weighing more than 10 lbs. Also no climbing, no bending, no squatting, no running, and no outside work shall be performed. It is also very important that he has access to a restroom at all times.

To whom it may concern:

As the attending physician of Mr. <insert family name here> it is my recommendation that Mr. <insert family name here> return to work, allowing for the limitations outlined below. It is important that Mr. <insert family name here> avoids strenuous physical activity. I therefore recommend the following limitations to his duties; limited physical exertion, including, but not necessarily limited to the avoidance of the following strenuous activities; running, climbing, squatting, bending, or the lifting of objects in excess of ten pounds. Additionally, I recommend against exposure to sudden changes in temperature, loud noises, or bright lighting. To this end, Mr. <insert family name here> should should not be made to work outdoors. It is also imperative that Mr. <insert family name here> has access to restroom facilities at all times. Comfortable and supportive seating, ideally with adjustable lumbar support, is recommended.

To whatever extent possible, accommodations should be made to provide Mr. <insert family name here>, with a comfortable, quiet, and a stress-free work environment.

Although I'm am sure that questions will arise from this memo, I am precluded by federal law from discussing the details of Mr. <insert family name here>'s condition. Please be advised that any such questions will remain unanswered by my office.

The work environment part leaves out a lazy boy and TV.

firstkill · 02-13-2010, 07:14 PM

Is it that hard to specify what your dad wants?

As a doctor, i do not have the time to list crap out for people. Its either work, no work, or light duty.

If your dad is "after" something then he better write a letter himself.

JayKay335i · 02-13-2010, 08:34 PM

As another person in the medical field, I'm just saying, he had gastric bypass surgery. Hes still a normal human being. He just eats less.

Hell, isn't the surgery fully laproscopic these days? Damn short recovery time. He is still a normal person and in reality doesn't need any "special treatment". Hes not "physically handicapped".
