Weekend Sick Note in BC
It is Saturday or Sunday. Your regular clinic is closed. Walk-in clinics that are open have 4+ hour waits. Get your sick note without leaving home.
Weekends are the worst time to need a sick note in BC. Most family doctor offices are closed. The few walk-in clinics that open on weekends are overwhelmed with everyone else who could not get in during the week. Wait times of 4-6 hours are common. MedLetter processes requests 7 days a week — submit from your couch and receive your note the same day.
