We have arrived at the conclusion of our series on Dante’s poem Inferno and Rodin’s sculpture The Gates of Hell where we finally explore the topic of how this relates to workers’ compensation.
Dr. John Alchemy and Cory Oleson explore the metaphor between the injured worker’s experience through a claim that is dragging on, and Dante’s experience going through hell.
It’s not all fire and brimstone, however. There could be a light at the end of the tunnel. To find out how, give this episode a listen!

This post is based on a five-part podcast series that we did with art historian Paul Costa covering the topic Dante Alighieri, his seminal work Inferno, 1800s French sculptor Auguste Rodin, and his famous piece The Gates of Hell. We encourage you to check it out!
Injured workers who have spent enough time stuck in the workers’ compensation system very well may refer to their experience with the process as hell.
We’re referring to claims that have dragged on for 6 – 10 months and beyond. The harrowing experience of being stuck in the claim can be equal to, and sometimes worse, than the workplace injury itself.
Here we examine just how these work comp claims can be like hell, specifically from the perspective of Dante’s work, Inferno.

Expanding on the idea of 0% WPI in workers’ comp claims from previous episodes, Dr. John Alchemy takes this opportunity to elaborate that 0% WPI doesn’t necessarily mean that everything about the injury is ‘in the clear’.

Part IV of our podcast series on Dante’s Inferno, and Rodin’s Gates of Hell. Here we behold the gates in the flesh.
In this penultimate episode of our series, we travel with Historian of Italian art and owner of Tuscan Tour Guide, Paul Costa, into the early 20th century to meet Auguste Rodin.
We learn about how Rodin interpreted Dante’s vision to sculpt his depiction of the Gates of Hell as described by Dante Alighieri. We learn some very interesting facts about the time period, and Rodin’s spiritual connection to the author of The Inferno.

Physicians, often deservedly, are looked at by the public as people who have an almost bottomless capacity to help people. This was put to test during the coronavirus pandemic, where healthcare workers put everything they had and more into their jobs in order to try and save the lives of people during the worst pandemic of our lifetime.
In reality, healthcare professionals are flesh and bone human beings, subject to the same physical and mental constraints as anyone else. Many in the field make it part of their job to obscure that fact for the sake of their patients… and often their peers.
But what happens when a physician needs help? When they’re struggling with depression, or even substance abuse (Dr. House, anyone?)? Worst of all, what conditions lead to a doctor deciding to take their own life?
