Medical Issues Of A Tech Guy

Since we have a computer store, it’s important that we have health insurance for all our tech guys because our tech guys do a lot of heavy lifting for computers all day and they sometimes hurt their back while working.  Sure we have workmen comp.  but truth be told workmen comp isn’t enough when these guys get hurt.  Why?  because I’ve heard stories about these guys who hurt their back and can’t get back to work for months.  And back home, there are people who goes see an acupuncturist and these acupuncturist are becoming quite popular in the West too.  But I’m a bit weary about the acupuncturist here because you never know if they are really qualified.  So if they are not – can one get Medical Malpractice Insurance since they are not really doctors?  So I tell the guys that work for us to be very careful when they are carrying heavy stuff – and yesterday one guy tripped and hurt his legs really back – bruised big time and because he is diabetic – I’m very worried for him.   It’s not easy owning your own business because you have to take care of your employees not only because of obligation but because we really care about them.
