Ok, my take on this. I disclosed to my gp as it is confidential but it isn’t if you declare it at work. You are then out in the public domain and my view is that as a professional you have much to lose, so I would advise against it personally. On certification if same as in U.K. then it is 7 days before a sick note so too long to cover the residential. It is a dilemma and I can see why that may have put you off in the past. I agree with steev on talking to gma about it.
