Laz, It has been held, depending upon the job, especially in California and other liberal enclaves, that MIs, among other ailments, are considered job-related and these poor folk are pensioned out. I am not agreeing with these rulings and think they have gone way overboard with this cradle to grave nonsense. What I am primarily referring to is tangibly, clearly provable work-related injuries or a disaster of some sort at the employers' workplace. Then it becomes the responsibility of the employers to get their people out safely, as best they can. I think you can see where a morbidly obese person can complicate this, particularly if injured and incapacitated in the disaster. - Holly
