The Shocking Truth Behind Fake Medical Notes Doctors Won’t Admit In today’s digital and highly regulated healthcare landscape, fake medical notes—often referred to by patients and whistleblowers as " doctored records" or “fictitious visits” —have become a growing, yet overlooked issue. While many assume medical documentation is strictly controlled and verifiable, the reality reveals a complex, troubling truth: some doctors issue fake notes without formal discipline, often shielded by systemic loopholes. ### What Are Fake Medical Notes? A fake medical note is a falsified or altered document purporting to confirm a patient’s diagnosis, treatment, absence from work, or emergency status—usually generated without an actual face-to-face evaluation. These notes might claim a patient has a severe heart condition, chronic illness, or disability, even if the individual is healthy or the visit was remote or brief.
