Description: A GP in New South Wales says he's spending too much time seeing patients who need a medical certificate for work -- rather than needing treatment. It's led to calls for employers to change the documentation requirements if staff are away for just a day or two with a minor ailment. The Royal College of GPs says doing so would help free up appointments for those who need them most.
