Employment Law Gone Mad?

A US pizza chain has been ordered to pay for weight loss surgery for a member of staff who injured himself at work and has to undergo surgery. Adam Childers injured himself on a fridge door at work and Boston Gourmet Pizza offered to pay for back surgery. In order to go through the surgery he must undergo weight loss surgery and the Indiana Court of Appeal has ruled that Boston Gourmet Pizza is liable for the additional $25k costs.
