Here in EU, in order to take official sick days, i would have visit doctor to get confirmation document. Which means that for simple cases i would rather take unofficial sick days (sometimes provided by employer, like in US) or just leave.

Yeah but getting that confirmation document is low effort. And at least in Belgium the doctor visit would cost just like $25 (from memory, haven't lived there for quite some time).
