  you need?”

•   Is the availability of effective pain medication to injured 

workers being undermined by overly cautious worker’s 

compensation carriers in light of narcotic addiction and 

overdose issues?  Would a State formulary improve or

need to know now.

Irma.  Could they pose a  worker’s compensation risk to 

employers if they wear a company T?  Drive a company 

vehicle?
