from Pennsylvania Bar Association Workers’ Compensation Newsletter, Volume VII, No. 105 (September 2010) An extended review of Dr. Nortin Hadler's book on the overtreatment of back pain which, among other things, includes a strong indictment of the workers' compensation system. Dr. Hadler argues that comp programs often generate illness-inducing behaviors on the part of injured workers, thereby defeating the goals of rehabilitation and return to work. The author's harshest indictment, however, is not so much of lawyers and workers' compensation, but of his fellow medical practitioners -- the "gatekeepers" of the system.
