Insurance Reasons
I have worked in the health insurance industry for over 15 years. The reason your doctor would say this is because employers share and use this information to see what health problems future employees have. For example, if an employer has a small group employer group health plan and one employee has cancer or some other diagnosis that is serious or will end up costing the insurance company money they look at is as a risk factor and they rate the entire group up. All the employees in that company that are covered under the small group employers health plan would have to pay more. Employers who offer insurance like to find people who have minimum problems so they can keep their rates low.
Also, an employer looks at an employee as an investment. They spend time and money training etc. if that employee has a past history of taking extended time off for any reason they look at that employee as a bad investment.
Not fair, and they are not supposed to share this information or have it held against you but I have seen them do just that time and again.
