Recovery from hernia repair.

The article discusses WorkSafeBC's policy on inguinal hernia claims. The policy limits the postoperative wage loss to 42 calendar days unless there are complications. In 2004, a paper issued by WorkSafeBC's Evidence Based Practice Group claims postoperative convalescence and return to work usually occurred in less than 42 says. WorkSafeBC is working with the British Columbia Medical Association on addressing the discrepancy between expected and actual convalescence period for injured workers.
