I can only say that she is person with strong work ethic, I have knowen her for 2 years, etc. Can anyone really comment about the work ethic, ability to perform OT at a short notice, etc? If they are so concerned about her health, maybe they should get a medical checkup done. What is your experience about reference checks?

Usually if go through agency will have a list of 10+ reference check questions.
Yup, one of the questions was about health. But it is yes/no. I don't believe theey will ask you to elaborate. Such things kinda personal.
Attitude yup, they do ask that but not to the explicit extent of leave record, ability to perform OT at a short notice. If you're not comfortable, just give reasonable answers? Anyway, your leave meaning sick leave right?
