Why is it hard sometimes to get a work related note from a doctor? Seems like some of my colleagues have no problem getting notes to have time off for one two months. My doctor knows my problems with the knee, acid reflux, high blood pressure, history of depression/anxiety/suicidal ideation and now I may have developed arthritis. All I was asking a note to limit the number of work days to two. I got it but after some arguing with him. I work part time, and many co workers work 2 -3 days a week, but for some reason I'm getting 5 days a week, which is not what I signed up for when I was applying for a part time position. I asked my manager to schedule me only 2 days a week but it was denied.  

Sorry I realize this may not be the best sub to ask but any advice is appreciated.
