At least I can tell you that it does not work in my country, where bosses and authorities cannot decide whether or not you are sick, only doctors can.
It's amazing how low on the ladder American doctors' opinions are!
Far below politicians, bosses, and most of all insurance companies, who, as we all know, possess way more hands on medical training. (is /s even needed!? Lol)
Opinions, LOL, yes, the sacred thing for all Usamericans.
Here it is a doctor's statement, legally binding.
My gosh, you're right. They always say "In my professional medical opinion" or "within a reasonable degree of medical certainty"...I always found it reasonable wording because we're indeed a litigious society and nobody can be 100% certain...
... But is a major function of that paradigm just to allow the likes of insurance companies or random senators to say "That's just like, your opinion, man" at them? :|
