Altered MD Excuse

Specialties School

Published

My school's receptionist brought me an excuse which was obviously altered. The parent had used white-out over the dates excused and wrote in different dates. I called the doctor's office, who assured me that they never use white-out on excuses because "there's no way of knowing what is correct for audit purposes". Obviously, we are not honoring this excuse and those dates will continue to be unexcused absences. Parent is p!ssed.

How would you have handled this situation? Obviously, the school is not able to file a police report. I can only hope the doctor's office does, though.

I think I am looking at a forged medication form:

Sadly, it looks like the same provider wrote it all, they have terminal laziness.
