EK Health Hosts a Successful 2nd Semi-Annual Educational Seminar
by Richard Thompson, MD
EK Health Services' Chief Medical Officer
EK Health Services hosted a half-day seminar Wednesday, March 23 in Pasadena to help workers’ compensation stakeholders understand prescription drug management for chronic pain. The seminar, “Understanding the Pharmacology of Chronic Pain,” offered CEU (Continued Education Unit) credits to RN’s and claims adjusters and was open to clients, employers and medical professionals who treat injured workers. More than 100 persons attended and enjoyed the stimulating presentations as well as the (given) networking with their peers in the industry. We received many strong words of praise, but I particularly liked the one that said, “It was the best seminar I have ever attended!”

(An en banc decision is binding on all workers' compensation trial judges, unless reversed by the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court.) They also answered the corollary question as to the elements an interpreter lien claimant must prove in order to be successful.
