Hey...Glad to see you posting; unfortunatelly I dont have any figures
on this loss of productivity. It sure would be interesting to know how
many dollars a year are lost in terms of productivity time as a result
of this illness, and then steer the healing practicians to aim
at "curing" the aliments into a productive set of workers that
contribute to the economic make up of our society, unfortunatelly the
model is still one of sickness and illness rather than a rehabilitative
one... What do you think?
