Re: Fmla
Your doctor is under no legal obligation to fill out your company forms. If you feel that you need an FMLA leave to care for yourself or an immediate family member after exhaustion of your available sick and vacation time then it is time for you to seek another doctor or perhaps in your current physician's opinion you do not need an extended leave from your job.
