That at least in part the reason they feel animosity towards Islam is because it was the religion of the conqueror. The religion of the tax collector, of the judge, of the punisher. that if, as in Indonesia, a couple Gulf merchants had shown up and told them about this great religion that helps you stop drinking so much, they would not feel the same animosity.

Endlessly pressing how bad anti semitism has gotten yet the rise in islamophobia?
Not a peep.

So again all Canadian experience. YMMV.
Yes, doctors are quite strict about getting access to the doctor. But once you get in to see them they're paid the same whether it's 2 minutes or 20 minutes. So whatever gets you out of there quicker is what they'll often go with. If you're asking for a sick note, the quickest response is to write a sick note - it would take much more time to investigate, ask a bunch of questions, and challenge whether you're really sick.
But yes that doesn't mean your GP is going to go to bat and make a bunch of phone calls or whatever on your behalf.
(My wife works as a medical assistant for three doctors - one GP, one surgeon (who has to do surgical consults), and I forget what the third one does. They're lovely people, but you can definitely see the failings in the system from her stories)
