    A doctor can do whatever the doctor wants to and an employer can accept or not accept anything they want. There are no rules.

    The doctor can write anything they want. The employer can accept or reject anything the doctor writes.

    Sure, if they are willing to.

    If you constantly get pink eye, you may want to work on washing your hands.

    Can he? Yes.

    Will he? Is another question entirely.
