Charge hour is an hour worked
Chester Copperpot

That is correct.

Possible double/triple billing helps push those hrs up. Still a lot of work.

50 hours a week?

Don’t you think doctors would actually run tests on him first to confirm?

Common in the military to get 100% disability somehow, full retirement
