 In order to provide a complete analysis, in this case, it is important to discuss the familiarity with 
 the basic legal principles involved. 
 The AMA Guides on page 8, 1.2 Disability: 
 "A disability determination also includes information about the individual's skill, education, job 
 history, adaptability, age, and environmental requirements, and modifications." 
 The AMA Guides, 5th Edition on page 14 under 1.9 Employability Determination state: 
 "More complicated are the cases in which the physician is requested to make a broad judgment 
 regarding the individual's ability to return to any job in his or her field."
