Carpal Tunnel Syndrome not a Disability

Posted by michael on from the upton-sinclair-rolling-over dept.

An Anonymous Coward writes: "It turns out that the Supreme Court of the United States doesn't think Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a real disability. See here for details." Read the summary or the whole opinion. In a nutshell: just because a woman was sufficiently disabled that she couldn't perform her job due to carpal-tunnel, doesn't mean she was sufficiently disabled to be considered disabled under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Everyone who has that nagging pain in your wrists should probably read this decision.

    For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?
