title: The physician perspective.
abstract: In their paper, Hurley et al. document the development of strategies used by workers' compensation boards (WCBs) to provide enhanced access and medical care to injured workers. They discuss the implications of these strategies for physicians, patients, government and the provincial public insurance plans. My comments on their paper focus primarily on Ontario and the physician sector.
