Hi girls, just wondering have any of you requested a sick cert from the doc at a hospital visit?? Im attending a scan at the Rotunda SP tomorrow and would like to talk to doc about getting few days off work, I'm absolutely exhausted and still smothered with a cold that I have a full week now. Couldn't take time last week as t was crucial that I w at work but still feel like crap.
Anyone do this before or do. I have to go to my GP?
Thanks

No harm in asking,but if you need to have a social welfare cert for work also you are best go to your GP.

I was advised by hospital 2 weeks ago to take a week off due to bleeding, so went to my gp after that and got both certs!

My consultant had no issues signing me off for a week with a sinus infection at 26/27 weeks
