Doctor charging patients for a sick note if they are not sick
Q: In a GP practice, patients come often for a sick note without being actually sick. Most will say they are tired and need a day or two off. Some practitioners charge for a sick note as a business transaction.
Is it permissible to rather consult the patient and do a general check up (blood pressure and sugar) and give multi vitamins and then give the note or is it not permissible at all?
