abstract: A social worker at the Swiss League against Rheumatism describes her role as a mediator between arthritic patients and doctors and between arthritics and employers. She describes some of the hazards involved in taking the step from complete financial independence to being at the full mercy of the social insurance scheme. She also gives examples of her day to day work at the Rheumatism Advisory Centre.
