8. Viral fever
The doctor won’t simply take your word for this one on our list of easiest illnesses to fake to a doctor. You’ll have to put in a bit more effort into it. Try running around the block before you enter the office so you’ll be hot and sweaty when you walk in. Being brick red will certainly help, and make sure you mention high-temperature last night. Shivering goes without saying – you must complain how you’re constantly feeling cold. Even if the doctor raises his/her eyebrows to the thermometer, just keep on acting until you win that certificate. After all, how can one tell you to your face that you should go to work/school if you’re shaking and looking depressed?
