doctor's note
Physician's written verification
A doctor's note is a written statement from a physician confirming a patient's illness, injury, or medical appointment—typically used to excuse absences from work or school.
The note usually includes dates but not diagnostic details: HR requires a doctor's note for any absence over three days.
Also called a medical excuse or sick note.
