Allergic contact dermatitis from topical Chinese herbal medicine and generalized urticaria and angioedema from dietary supplementation: A case report

Introduction

WorkSafeBC defines violence as not only the actual or attempted use of physical force that causes injury, but also threatening statements or behaviors that cause a worker to believe they are at risk of injury.

Unfortunately, violence is one of the risks that come with working in health care. Physicians who work in environments where patients are more likely to react violently are at higher risk, but those who work in any type of practice or location are vulnerable.

WorkSafeBC provides a medical insurance structure parallel to MSP that pays physicians for their treatment through the MSP billings structure when WorkSafeBC is indicated as the insurer on a claim. All patients’ health care needs related to a WorkSafeBC claim must be directed to WorkSafeBC, not to MSP. Billing through WorkSafeBC, when applicable, provides access to unique funding opportunities and ensures that the public health care system does not foot the bill for services that are covered elsewhere.
