Ziek door het werk: een overtuigend medisch beeld of vooral verminderd welbevinden?

- Cooperation between occupational-health physicians and treating physicians can lead to a mutually convincing result. The input from the occupational-health physician consists of a careful and critical examination into the social and personal background of the employee on sick leave. The benefit of the doubt in the case of any remaining questions in the assessment of the degree of unfitness for work would then lean towards possibilities and not limitations. The degree of disability is then assessed by a convincing clinical picture and not by the diminished feeling of well-being of the patient.
