[QUOTE="proups, post: 53052"] crappie: "most of the people who are on work comp are hurt .the people who are abusing the system are the company doctors sending people back to work to early.these folks who you speak of that abuse the system are very few." Your posts on this thread lead me to believe that you like to take a few days off by calling in an injury. I hope I'm dead wrong. You call the doctors that UPS uses "company doctors." Those doctors are subject to the same malpractice laws that any other doctors are subject to, but they can also spot someone making a mountain out of a molehill.
