TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - A practical approach to workers' compensation JO - American family physician A1 - Nelson, David E. SP - 233 EP - 238 VL - 37 IS - 4 N2 - An understanding of workers' compensation and of the physician's role in it can significantly improve communication with patients, insurance companies and employers. Early rehabilitation is essential. Treatment of difficult patients can be enhanced by recognizing and treating the factors that are delaying recovery, encouraging activity and minimizing the use of narcotics. Factors delaying recovery include depression, alcoholism and pending litigation against the employer.
