The prescription for light work for the partially disabled employee.
A prescription of "light work" for the industrially employed patient who is convalescent from injury or illness often is difficult to carry out and may do more harm than good to both employer and employee. Criteria developed from the observations of a physician engaged in an industrial establishment may be helpful to the physician in private practice who is called upon to decide when a patient may safely return to work and how strenuous or exacting the work may be.
