Guy gets surgeon to write note requiring that he flies business class for all work trips for the next 18 months: 'Ended up costing them at least $20,000 extra'

Who else wants to get in line for a doctor's note from this surgeon?

This employee had a serious spinal surgery and, during recovery, was asked to go on a business trip to Shanghai after the startup he worked for was acquired by a much bigger company. Well, the employee tried to explain that he could only go on a flight that long if he were seated in business class, but his new boss refused to believe him until he got a doctor's note.

Well, the Redditor's surgeon was happy to oblige, and he even made the circumstances better for his patient. Not only would he have to fly business class for this particular trip, but the note also stated that he would need to fly business class for the next 18 months.
