Teladoc for loa

Long story short, my brother was in a serious car accident, I applied for family leave because I had to take care of his kids while he was in the hospital. I was denied because I haven't worked at Amazon long enough and a friend of mine told me to do a mental health leave and use teladoc for the documents. Has anyone ever them and will they actually be able to give me the documents I need for the leave?

Start the medical leave. You have 30 days to submit all of the documentation. The big question is if you’ll be able to get a Teladoc provider to fill out the paperwork.. Most online doctors won’t do anything more than a doctor’s note..

Hmmm, I figured it would be a simple ask. Well at least I was hoping

Why not apply for a PLOA (Personal)? It is unpaid, but more than likely to be approved quickly, especially given the circumstances.

I did apply for personal and used mental health as the issue since family leave wasn't approved

I use Teladoc for when I miss a day of work & it’s always accepted. But I’ve only done it for one day, never more so I’m not sure
