Reparable mental ailments? Some mental damage that is done is beyond repair. I've seen people in my field have complete nervous breakdowns. Completely unable to return to the work environment, and their conditions affects their every day life with their children and family. Not the same people at all. Clinically depressed because their career was their identity, and their conditions renders them unable to return to work.
So again, where does it stop? Both examples are professionals getting paid to do a job. Both do a job that they are aware can have consequences (be it physical or mental).
