surely if they do not then they will be compromising themselves ... after all they are writing a certificate of sickness.

Originally posted by flexmoreI always opt for fatigue as a major symptom of a made up illness. If you profess to have weakness of body (with aching if you so desire) and you find it tiring to climb the stairs, it is more convincing as an onset of a viral infection. It requires no proof (ie: no tiger balm for running nose, nor fake sneezing is required) and it is perfectly admissible as suggestion of further illness, in this way you can take several days off under the guise of an oncoming bout of flu or gastric unpleasentries, without first developing any of the symptoms of such. When you return to work you can then employ the other tricks of symptomatic subterfuge. Also, the doctor will not be able to prescribe you anything so he'll just say go home and drink plenty of water. Sorted!

My advice on taking a sicky, make it simple, make it believable, make it undetectable. Enjoy your days off 🙂

If you are going for long term, try depression - difficult to prove, and doctors love signing people off for it.
I know many people who have had months off using this ruse.
EDIT: As below, I forgot stress! Same thing applies. If you work for local government it's practically expected of you to be off work "sick" for a good proportion of the year.

Doctor will more than likely write you off ill for a week or so. You'll probably get some anti-depressents or sleeping tablets off him so don't take them and enjoy your week off. Worst thing that can happen is that they'll book you into a few shrink appointments, but they'll be after your week off and you can have a miraculous recovery by then.
