Go to work and just leave early? I would never take off so I can go to the doctor that just makes no sense to me. How many people think it's better to just go to work and leave early so you can go to your appt?

None of these. I schedule my doctor's appointments for on my already-scheduled day off. :) That way, after I'm done with my appt, I can go do errands.

Well...I know you asked this question before, but still, it livens up the board. :lol:

When I worked, I made my appt. on Saturdays if the doctor's office or dental office was opened that day. If not, then I would make it early in the morning and go to work later and not have a lunch.

I never remember asking this question, you must have a good memory

When I worked, I wouldn't dream of taking a day off for a doctor's appointment. I'd schedule it for early in the morning or later in the day...then come in late or leave work early.

Right Janice, that's how you do it-lol

I like to take a whole sick day off, go in the morning and have the rest of the day to do with what I want.

So you want to get up early on a day off and go to the doctor?-lol

I always just leave work early to go to the doctor or dentist. If I do it on my day off, it just kind of ruins the day because you spend most of your day off waiting in the doctor or dentist office and before you know it your day off is over.

Yeah cause I want to get it out of the way so I can enjoy the rest of the day since I make the appointments for warmer months. :)

I'm with you Solomon.

I usually just put in for a sick day for Doctors Appointment's ONLY, B/c I dont like to rush to get to work or speed exc.. I usually just like to go to the Drs. and go back home and relax all day, and surf the net;)

Well I guess that makes sense during the summer

When you work third shift you don't have that problem but I make my
appointments as early in the day as possible so I can go home & sleep.

I do the same thing...it's just easier this way :)

I seen some people go to the doctor FIRST and then come to WORK-lol I always schedule my appts for the afternoon, never in the morning

Sometimes I will make an appt. on a work day -- my dentist is only about 5 minutes away from my job so I'll usually go to the dentist first (I work from about 12-8 pm). I don't mind going to the doctor on a day off, that way I don't have to squeeze around anything else that day. I would rather use my paid free hrs off work on a vacation or something of that nature. I try to make all my necessary checkups (regular doctor, dentist, eye doctor, etc.) within a few weeks of each other, then I get them all out of the way.

I take days off from school when I go to the doctors. Chances are, I don't feel well anyways, if I'm going to the doctor.

well, i guess it depends. Normally, I'd rather just leave early, but I had an appt with a specialist last year, and he could only get me in at 11, so i just took the day off (the first one in 3 years).

I've taken days off to go to the docs or to take my girls to the docs. Or I'll go on an off day.

I take the afternoon off. Well, I've only done it once, but that's what I did. It's too hard trying to get the appointment after 3pm so that I could not have to take time. Plus, short days are awesome.

If I did that, I'd never go to work after the appointment. :lol:

Yeah right-lol That would make it hard to go to work-lol

Brieanna I'm talking about your kids, i'm talking about YOU-lol Of course you would have to take a day off if you had to take your kids to the doctor. But in your case you would just go to work and leave early to go to the doctor

If I did that, I'd never go to work after the appointment. :lol:

Me too, especially since I live pretty close to my doctor. So I can't imagine going to the doctor first and then going all the way downtown to work for a half a day and turn around and come back uptown. Instead I rather go downtown for half a day for work, go uptown to the doctor and then just go straight home.

I said that I have taken the day off to go to the doctors.

Well it depends if you are having a major test done like Cat scan or mRI's. But just for a annual visit i would take a half of day

Well with my job I DON'T have to show up to work everyday. All they care about is that I get my work done and in a timely manner.
