A variety of neurological disorders afflict people in the workforce and the occupational physician faces tough decisions about them. Sometimes the afflicted individual is an applicant for a job. In other cases, he or she suffers a neurological disorder, ranging from epilepsy to senility, while an employee, often after long and valued service. Whether the decision pertains to hiring or to approval of a return to work, it's usually up to the occupational physician to make it. Often he or she is under strong pressure to make an expedient decision.
