You got the first part right. However, secondly you are full of crap. I have been doing clinical occupational medicine (aka "work comp") for 25 years, and it is BOTH about helping the employee and reducing costs ("protecting") the employer. I have never compromised my medical ethics to cover an employer's ***, although I have been asked to a few times. The patient always comes first, even though the employer is paying for it.
I don't know the particulars of your case, but an injured employee who doesn't get what he or she believes they are entitled to invariably complains about the doctor "working for the company so I'll never get a fair shake". Well, :icon_fU: to you.
