No, it doesn't work like that in Poland. You can just call it in, saying "I'm sick" and then go to the doctor. Doctor's note can cover up to 3 days before the visit.

I've occasionally been able to get in same day in the US but it's certainly the exception (and I don't live in/near a major metro). A week or more to see a GP wouldn't be uncommon.

You need a different doc or to get out of your HMO or something. I never have a problem getting in to see a doc same or next day if it’s needed...

Additionally, requiring a doctor's note doesn't necessarily mean insisting that unwell people physically leave their homes to visit their doctor.
