Putting Heart Cases Back to Work.

The article presents information on the work being done by the Cleveland Area Heart Society's Work Classification Clinic for vocational rehabilitation of heart patients. It states that employers do not prefer to rehire a recovered trained worker who had a heart attack. At the Work Classification Clinic cardiologists, social workers and vocational counselors, examine whether a heart patient would be able to rejoin his work or would have to find a suitable job, on the basis of their medical tests.
