The Machinery
Abstract
The insurance medical certificate is given on a prescribed form and is a declaration by the doctor that he has examined the patient and that he, or she, is, in that doctor’s opinion, incapable of work. The certificates are given in most cases at weekly intervals so long as is necessary, and a “declaring-off” certificate is required when the patient is fit to resume work.
