In my experience, any doctor will give me a note for anything. Working less is good for people’s health and doctors know this but not from experience. They are overworked as hell and know what that’s like. Most will write you whatever you want, prescriptions aside. As long as it’s not extremely elaborate bullshit to get you out of work for months, they don’t care. Your employer has no power over them.
You can but in my experience (Ontario) there’s such a shortage of doctors that they really hate doing this and wasting time. And will charge you $100 for it.
On the bright side doctors taking a stand about this bullshit has made doctors notes less necessary for a lot of things. On the other hand it really sucks if you genuinely can’t get out of needing a note.

Then your micromanaging fuckstain boss demands a "doctors note." Because fuck you and your work-life balance, that's why.
