Physicians who treat injured workers with painful conditions face complex
challenges that require skills beyond those of a clinician. To address these
challenges effectively, physicians need to understand the logic of workers'
compensation systems and the interests of the various participants in the
systems. They must be prepared to interface constructively between their patients
and the workers' compensation carrier and attend to a multitude of administrative
issues. In the present article, the authors provide an extended case history with
commentary to illustrate the challenges that physicians face and the ways they
can respond to these challenges.
