if i had not turned in for work without phoning in sick, I'd have just got a written warning when i showed up

Yeah, this kind of depends on the type of workplace and type of job.  Lots of people who work in high-turnover, lower-end jobs (call centers, large retail, fast food, etc.) are more likely to be written off as unreliable than assumed ill.
