    Do doctors notes actually comment on the nature of the medical issue? Who the fuck really asks for doctors notes, no one has ever asked me for one. It seems so petty.

      It might look suspicious coming from out of state…especially specific states. Plus, the doctor’s name/clinic/office are usually on it, at least that’s been my experience.

      I had professors ask for them, and while the doctor might not say why, the name and address of the doctor are on the note. If you’re seeing an out of state obstetrician, they’re going to have a strong suspicion.

      Let’s be clear, it is absolutely none of their business. Your professors don’t need to know anything about your personal medical information. And I agree with you that it is extremely petty.

      But we’re talking about Conservatives. They want to control women and punish them for consensual sex. Petty and invasive are baseline characteristics, and it gets much worse from there.
