Hi! I am so confused right now. I am a 21 year old female student who works full time bartending. I missed a week of work (Last week) and visited my doctor at the Walk In Clinic I go to *TWICE* in 3 days. He wrote me a note "excusing" my days missed at work due to a case of vertigo in my right ear. Now I am not a rich girl, I do not have health insurance (I know, I know, I am looking into it when I get my next 2 paychecks! lol) and everytime I go to visit the doctor its $70 office visit PLUS meds/tests so it totals out to be at least $150-250 each time I visit. My question is : I returned to work with my 2 doctors notes (got one each visit why not that's why I paid $70) everything was fine and I worked this past Friday Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday at work I got a very bad dizzy spell from my vertigo and had to go home. My boss told me I needed to go back to my doctor and get a note releasing me to go back to work. I am feeling better I just got a really random dizzy/nauseated spell at work and I don't have $70 for another office visit just to get a NOTE!
What do I do? Do I call the office instead of going in there and having other patients "listen in" ? If I call what do I say? I am so bad at these types of things. Please help me out. I need to go back to work on Friday, I am a starving student and I need to work :(
