My favorite form

Filling out forms for patients is part of my job.

I particularly like to fill out FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) forms.

It's a real treat to answer a subtle variation of the same question over and over again.

For example:

Is the individual going to miss work while being treated for the medical condition?

Is the individual going to need to be absent from work while undergoing treatment for the medical condition?

Is the individual going to be unable to work a full day while being treated for the medical condition?

Is the individual going to need to undergo medical treatment while being treated for the medical condition?

Is the individual going to be treated by you while undergoing treatment for the medical condition?

If so, will the individual need to be absent from work while undergoing treatment by you for the medical condition?

If not, will the individual need to be absent from work while undergoing treatment by another medical provider for the medical condition?

If so, how often will the individual need to be treated by the other medical provider while undergoing treatment for the medical condition?

Will the individual be able to work less than a full day while undergoing treatment by the other medical provider for the medical condition?

Will the individual ...you get the picture.

I wonder:

Did the developers of the FMLA form have a lot of fun devising it?

In devising the FMLA form did the developers have a lot fun?

Did developing the FMLA form lead to fun for those involved ?

Gee, maybe I should get a moonlighting job developing 5 page forms...it seems pretty easy!
