Product Description
In this fascinating book, Allard Dembe explores the histories of three ailments now commonly considered to be work-related-noise-induced hearing loss, occupational back pain, and cumulative trauma disorders. He finds that doctors` judgments about the occupational origins of a disease are affected by numerous social factors, and he suggests ways that society-and not the medical community-could be responsible for conferring appropriate medical benefits and ensuring worker health.
