As a manager with a team of mostly younger 20 year olds I get the anxiety attack or migraine one pretty often

Why do you have to tell them what's wrong with you? Just say you're not feeling well. Most employers don't care to know the exact reason unless it's more than a day or two. Just give a notice.
Myself and the guys who work under me in my department need to be nearly dying to call in sick to work. Kids sick are another matter entirely and sometimes cause me to need to swap to night shift so I can start work after my fiancee comes home so she can watch the kids if they cannot go to schoolGood,not so good,bad,worst...,you need to take a day off,but don't have a good "material" anymore
What's your excuse?
I can't come in today,my legs have fallen asleep and they won't wake up

The good thing is, everyone knows I never call in sick unless I am dying, so the rare times it happens, nobody questions it. Maybe you should work on that. It is called character
Well, to be fair, the two weeks notice thing is just (in my case) to ensure(or at least maximize) the chances Ill get a good recommendation. Legally they cant say anything bad about you to your potential new employer calling them for references....HOWEVER, employers can and do sabotage your chances at another job. And we all know that employers sometimes give fuck all about laws. But, I agree about fools having unquestioned loyalty to a company. Its just a means to an end in my book. We mutually use each others services. That's where it ends and begins in my book and a person would have to be a damn fool to think otherwise. You can be friends with your coworkers and all that, but the actual employer(s)....fuck all that noise. Plenty of people were friends with the boss or owner and are standing in the unemployment line reminiscing about the good ol days.There's some weird dynamic going on where people feel a loyalty and obligation to their employer when the employer does not return that same loyalty.
I see people worried about giving "2 weeks notice" before quitting so as not to screw over the employer...... the truth is that when that same employer decides your services are no longer needed.... they bounce you out that day. They don't give you "2 weeks notice" to give you a chance.
If you don't want to go to work that day, you don't owe or need an "excuse".... your responsibility ends at "I'm not coming in today"
There's nothing else they need to know
