    I guess I have a different idea of what require means.

    In this you’re making a choice between getting a letter from your doctor, or finding another job. Neither looks like a requirement to me. Making the choice is a requirement. But options in that choice are, options.

      That’s entirely possible. From what you wrote I think your definition of required is along the line of “that for which there is no possibility or option to avoid.” Is that accurate?

        Yes.
        Or I suppose where the other option is death.

        I suppose you could say it’s required in order to do something. But you’d need that specific qualifier.
