mention that during this time he had flu and it was not severe enough to make him come to you and he did not want to abuse the health system. You believe your patient. what will be your action?
A. Tell him that this is illegal and you can not sign the form
B. Sign the form but indicate that you did not see the patient
C. Sign the form because you know your patient very well
D. Call his employer and explain what was the situation
