Being a witness at a trial is not like being a student in school. A doctor's note will not automatically excuse you. At the very least contact the attorney that subpoena' d you and notify them. You'd better be plenty sick or injured. If you're subpoena'd as a witness in a trial I would NOT fail to show up to answer the subpoena and later hope that the judge will forgive you.
