I'd say the examination of the potentially ill is a valuable use of a doctor's time
I would argue that it is infact, their job

Then I guess absolutely everyone who goes to the doctor's office is wasting the doctor's time, thus rendering having an office redundant

Do not seek medical attention yourself, you are only wasting their time

You're missing the point.

You don't need to go to the doctor for the flu, a cough, a cold, congestion, or any of the other many other self treatable illnesses that over the counter medication can treat and eliminate.

The doctor is saying that by the sick person traveling to their practice- the illness they are carrying could be transferred to a more vulnerable patient. As well, spread to the rest of the public that is exposed to the sick individual who has to travel there.

When the doctor writes a note, they must do a full examination of a patient that doesn't need their help. Then do a lot of paperwork that takes up their time and the time of the insurance company (or government agency, in this case).

TL;DR, don't waste a doctors time because you have a self treatable disease. The employer needs to trust that it's employees are sick and need to stay home. Otherwise, don't employ someone you don't trust.

Point is, you don't generally go to the doctor's office for the common cold. It's entirely unnecessary, and, as the doctor specified, potentially exposed immunocompromised patients to viruses while taking up the doctor's time. He's basically saying that people are coming in for illnesses that they wouldn't normally come in for due to the company's policy, and it's putting stress on the system.

Such as the elderly or diseased who might be brought low by the cold and fear they are vulnerable to worse illnesses

#23 - mayoroftownsville (01/01/2016) [-]
He's talking about people who need a doctor's note for work, so probably not the elderly or diseased. And if you have some other medical issue in addition to the cold then obviously you are justified in going, but that's not what he was talking about in the note. You CAN go to the doctor's office for the common cold, just like you CAN go for a scraped knee, but you don't need to. There is no medication that can help the common cold. Sometimes the doctor will give you an antibacterial, but that's honestly just to shut people up who demand treatment. All you can do for a cold is stay hydrated and rest, and all you can accomplish by coming in to the doctor's office for a cold is spread disease. And once again, the implication in the letter is that these people wouldn't be coming in if their jobs didn't require a sick note, which is why he's now charging for it.
#25 - captainprincess (01/01/2016) [-]
He was talking overall, and that's not enough
He only got onto the specifics of "self treatable" which is quite an assumption to make when he already discounted a secretary having the medical knowledge to write a note, so how a patient is supposed to know theyre not in any danger and would be wasting a medical professionals time having him do his job is beyond me

But simply put, given the lack of detailing in the op about that specific factor, and the lack of mentions of it until the idea that doctors offices are there to tend to sick people came up he never mentioned it either

It's arguably an irrelevant factor in the argument, if you could call it that

Any decent doctor isn't going to write a note without doing a check up, and a check up takes up time and resources. Because you're right, treating sick people is his job, and he probably takes it pretty seriously.

He is charging the company in the hopes that they stop requiring sick notes, or that if they don't, he will recoup the losses incurred. The patients themselves are still free to go in if they want to, and they suffer no losses from it. The only people this would prevent going in are those who were only doing it for the note in the first place.

They could still do it even after their company stops requiring it

He's talking about people who need a doctor's note for work, so probably not the elderly or diseased. And if you have some other medical issue in addition to the cold then obviously you are justified in going, but that's not what he was talking about in the note. You CAN go to the doctor's office for the common cold, just like you CAN go for a scraped knee, but you don't need to. There is no medication that can help the common cold. Sometimes the doctor will give you an antibacterial, but that's honestly just to shut people up who demand treatment. All you can do for a cold is stay hydrated and rest, and all you can accomplish by coming in to the doctor's office for a cold is spread disease. And once again, the implication in the letter is that these people wouldn't be coming in if their jobs didn't require a sick note, which is why he's now charging for it.

He was talking overall, and that's not enough
He only got onto the specifics of "self treatable" which is quite an assumption to make when he already discounted a secretary having the medical knowledge to write a note, so how a patient is supposed to know theyre not in any danger and would be wasting a medical professionals time having him do his job is beyond me

But simply put, given the lack of detailing in the op about that specific factor, and the lack of mentions of it until the idea that doctors offices are there to tend to sick people came up he never mentioned it either

It's arguably an irrelevant factor in the argument, if you could call it that
I only asked why writing notes is so burdensome and he came out with this spiel about wasting doctors' time

Yeah like charging money for writing notes is going to alleviate the time issues anyway
#26 - mayoroftownsville (01/01/2016) [-]
Any decent doctor isn't going to write a note without doing a check up, and a check up takes up time and resources. Because you're right, treating sick people is his job, and he probably takes it pretty seriously.

He is charging the company in the hopes that they stop requiring sick notes, or that if they don't, he will recoup the losses incurred. The patients themselves are still free to go in if they want to, and they suffer no losses from it. The only people this would prevent going in are those who were only doing it for the note in the first place.

No it wouldnt
They could still do it even after their company stops requiring it

It wouldnt work but they could still go
probably still get an examination, cause it's the doictors job

I dont see as much would be changed at all
#29 - mayoroftownsville (01/01/2016) [-]
That's why I said the patients would still be free to go? Like I said, it would only prevent those who were only going for the note anyway. As in, those who wouldn't go if they didn't need the note. The people who could, but wouldn't, of whom there are probably many since most people know not to go to the doctor's office for the common cold. Some people may still go, but the number will almost certainly be reduced if it goes from a requirement to a choice.

No
It wouldnt prevent anyone at all

That was the thing
Even the people who were only going for the note could still do that
They just wouldnt leave with a note, probably

But nothing else would necessarily be made to change
What if those same people continued going for another reason
#31 - mayoroftownsville (01/01/2016) [-]
They could still go, but would they?

You yourself said you don't go the the doctor for a cold. But you would if your job required a note, right? There you go, you're one of the people the doctor is trying to stop from coming in. And you aren't a special snowflake, there are others like you.

They might
Who can say

Suppose that since I didnt need a note I had to prove to a no-less skeptical boss that I really was ill and not simply slacking off for a day
I might have to go for a note afterall, just now it's not officially mandated or anything it'd just be my boss calling me telling me "how do I know youre not just taking a day off"

Or any other reason
I might like the doctor and want to flirt
I might be a hypochondriac and fear that Im terribly sick
I might spend the extra time spent at home doing something silly and hurt myself, suddenly requiring an actual doctors visit

Theres no way to know for sure
But calling it wasted time just like that is a little bit silly
At the end of the dya, a doctor is doing his job and doing his job means his time isnt wasted

That was real fuckin' hard, wasn't it? The item is made of raw honey; there's no need to add any of the waste sugar, nor to indicate that any added sugar was waste, so the only legal ingredients are "honey" and, if added, "sugar". The word "waste" is not necessary to add.

Its suger, WASTE; as in The company didn't need the suger, not that it was TOXIC.

If the bee's could break down and turn it into honey, no doubt your super-sensitive stomach could handle 200 sandwiches covered in that.

And that's pretty much all it is, from my understanding. I remember reading the part about a training sim where Slip gets wounded, so 2187 goes back to make sure he's secure and will survive before going on to complete the objective assaulting a Republic pillbox and gun emplacement more or less single handed, earning like 36 kills while the rest of his squad only had 10-ish, so obviously tactically thinking. Add to that I read that part of what Ren believes the failings of the Empire and Vader specifically were that they weren't brutal enough, so presumably they emphasize a sort of no-prisoners policy unless directly ordered
