One patient came last week, looking very healthy telling that she just need a yearly PE. Then a couple day later went back for a second visit show her health ID with my doc name as her pcp and asked for her disability form to fill in because of leg pain.
Your doctor is not alone. My most recent was a guy who demanded a letter saying he could not work because of a month old work related back injury. The previous weekend, a mutual friend had come across him doing a 90 mile snowmachine trip over rough terrain.
