How does this work?
A vet who sustained a devastating injury, say for example, lost a limb to amputation. The worker suddenly becomes seriously ill on the job as a result of an infection stemming from the injury. Nothing job related. The worker receives excellent, let's hope, medical attention and the employers work comp. carrier pays the medical bills and lost wages? For an injury that did not arise in the course of the vet's employment? Well that will be one happy employer, not. Guess how many additional vets that employer will be prone to hire.
