teenytiny Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hi ladies, This may be a silly question but will the surgeon provide a medical certificate for me when I have my breast augmentation? I would prefer to use my personal leave rather than annual leave, but I will have to provide a medical certificate. Has anyone gotten a med cert for work before, and was it discreet/not made obvious why you were having time off work? Cheers TeenyTiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeybaby Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Yep you can get a certificate and they make them discreet. I got mine for one month but my job is full on and physical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimel Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Yeah Teenytiny I'm also getting a certificate for mine, I won't have enough annual leave as I'm taking 3 weeks in March for our wedding (yay!) so I want to use my sick leave. Technically you are medically unfit for work so I see no reason why your workplace shouldn't let you take it. I am taking four weeks for the same reason as janeybaby, my job has the possiblity of being physical and I need upper body strength to be effective at my job, without saying exactly what I do! My PS will write one for me no probs, I'll get it the day after my op. My fiancee had a good point, if my work doesn't let me take the sick leave for whatever reason I will just take a weeks annual leave and tell them I'll see how I feel, then just call in sick....to bad for them!

Lozz68 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I considered this as well but decided to take it on annual leave in the end! the other girls are right, you should have no problem getting a discreet medical certificate - just ask your PS for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
