Sprain? Strain? Subluxation? Medical Insights That Can Help Attorneys.
Guest Dr. Peter Yeh is an orthopedic surgeon with more than 15 years in medicine treating shoulder, upper arm, and knee issues. The stuff that happens at the job.
When it comes to injured workers, they’re not that much different than an injured athlete. In both cases, the things they do can be a big part of their identity. And getting back to work is imperative. It’s not just physical, it’s mental. We all have different layers of what makes us who we are, and work is a big part of that.
Hear how Yeh learned how injured workers depend on doctors and the Workers’ Compensation system to help them cope both mentally and physically and get back to their lives. There’s no “cookie cutter” approach, and your clients depend on your understanding, compassion, and expertise.
Medical technology is rapidly evolving. Even the terms you need to know can change. Yeh explains some options that injured workers can explore, especially in cases involving injuries that would have been irreparable just two or three years ago. If you’re representing injured clients, it’s up to you to stay current and help them understand their options, available treatments, and the mental struggle of getting back to normal.
