Is prior pathology or factors of previous disability alone sufficient to prove workplace
causation? Why or why not?
Give this one a try later!
No, If prior pathology did not cause actual prior disability, the physician
should so state. (example: a woman with chronic shoulder pain falls and
breaks her shoulder at work, the fall did not entirely create the disability
and should be apportioned)
Who does the physician rendering first-aid send a report to?

,What are the two parts of the question a physician must ask as to whether the injury is
work related?
Give this one a try later!
1. Did the injury "arise out of employment" 2. Did the injury "occur in the
course of employment"
What are two cases in which a detailed occupational history are especially important?
Give this one a try later!
1. Cumulative injury cases 2. Occupational illness
What are employers prohibited from doing (3)?
Give this one a try later!
1. Discriminating against workers for their health and safety activities or for
filing a workers compensation claim. 2. Terminating an injured worker
during the period of temporary disability (unless proof of business
necessity) 3. Refuse to reinstate an injured worker, unless the worker can no
longer perform the essential functions of the job...

When are presumed medical conditions covered for special case workers such as fire
fighters etc.?
Give this one a try later!

What 3 factors need to be established in order to make a causation determination?
Give this one a try later!
1. What pathological condition(s) and disability are present? 2. What
relevant work exposure(s) were present? 3. What other causes might
produce the disease (ie. non-industrial exposures)?
What is the proper focus of injury regarding stress felt by an employee at work?
Give this one a try later!
The focus is not how much stress SHOULD be felt by an employee in the
work environment but how much stress IS felt by an individual worker
reacting uniquely to the work environment.
