I don't think it would be unreasonable to require a doctor's note specifying the nature of the problem, though. You want to take advantage of the program you have to provide medical documentation that it is necessary.
We had a provision in our CBA with the government that management could require a medical note for an illness lasting more than 3 days. That provision required that the note be referred to the Regional Medical Officer - who was a doctor - and could not be reviewed by some manager who would have trouble getting the cap off an aspirin bottle. The system worked surprisingly well.
