Venenerkrankungen in der arbeitsmedizinischen Praxis

The terms “venous diseases” or “varicose veins” are absent from the indexes of most well-known occupational medical text books and check lists.

Inability to work, medical examinations, hospitalization and early retirement are the result. For the insurance system the costs are enormous.
