Not even calling a doctor, I assume I am calling the receptionist, just it stresses me out cus idk what the normal etiquette is in regards to disclosing ur identity stuff lol, same reason I didn't call the emergency room (?) When it was the weekend and I had bad allergic reaction

Anxiety moment, usually I just go to my gp cus then I can make an appointment online so I don't have to interact with anyone except him when I go to the appointment, but he doesn't have anything open before the 25th so lol

If you have to go in due to your throat
get the note while you’re there obviously

It’s not difficult and you CAN do this!

Honestly - call them and then just take it from there. Tell who you are, they might ask for social security number (my doctor does at least) and then describe the situation.

It sucks to call, but they're here to help.

Ok I just didn't call cus I sent a message to my boss like "hello im still sick but ill come next week ifu pit me up for shifts, ill try to get a sick note from my doctor for the time I've been away but it might be hard to getit before the weekend" and he answered thatI don't have to stress abt it since I won't get paid for the days I've been away anyway obv cus I've worked there less than a month, so it doesn't matter if I have a doctors sick note or not. Only reason I wanted one was so I look a bit more legit and not like im lying, since I literally worked 3 shifts before Igot sick and I've been away for 5 shifts now including today, so lol ,,,, but anyways I will b ok I think

for next time if u gotta call, u just say "hei det er *fornavn etternavn*, jeg trenger en sykemelding" and the person on the other end will know what to ask of u, whether it be about your illness or scheduling an appointment
