@beachgem10: This is increasingly common! College students are creating fake medical documentation, but professors are pretty astute and can confirm with a google search and phone call. Please don’t do this and talk to college age kids and family members, because this can unfortunately turn into a big deal and criminal charges #college #finals #student #parents #crime
I’m a professor. I stopped requiring documentation long ago. If a student misses class or needs to miss, I just ask that they talk to me about it so I can make sure they stay on track.

HR professional here, people do this for their jobs too and just a PSA, it will also definitely get you fired and, depending on the employer, sued.

So you’re saying this could *hypothetically* work if you use your actual doctor’s name because them disclosing you’re their patient would be a HIPAA violation? 🤨

As a school health administrator, we absolutely call and verify notes, esp if something feels off. The things we have caught 👀

omgosh, my pediatricians wrote letters like they are signing autographs, no need to fake a signature.

Are professors allowed to enquire about a students medical status/background though? Even just to check if they are a patient with them and did attend appointments?

As an adjunct professor, THANK YOU 😭 the medical excuses are getting out of hand (and I do work with students as much as humanly possible). I told a student I needed documentation of his 2 week hospital stay. He sent me a visit summary for an ER visit from a month earlier 🤪

It’s giving Ferris Bueller’s principle telling Simone’s “father” to roll the body of her “dead grandma” to the school to allow her out early. 🤣🤣🤣

Imagibe if they put that effort into studying. I once had a student create a fake website instead of doing a project

I called my doctor and asked to schedule an appointment. They asked what was wrong. I told them I was not feeling well and took a day off and my employer wanted a letter. They faxed me the letter without requiring an appointment. I would hope a school would not get authorities involved. Shameful.

Question… if I saw a patient and the school called to confirm, I would just state I cannot confirm or deny that individual is a client without an ROI. Are Dr’s able to release info to schools without an ROI? (I know that you referred to forged letters of non patients, but I was curious)
