It's disgraceful that any professional could see this process as an acceptable method for help. Of course I'm left to wonder if they're stupidity is indeed blinding them as Franz Kafka suggests.
From where I’m standing, you could never believe our Government has set up a system to support injured workers. This very system that was established (apparently) for the injured worker is very [...]
