If WC were a family, RTW would be Subrogation's long lost cousin

While RTW and subrogation are part of worker's compensation claims, it's easy to treat them like olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Two immiscible ingredients that go on the same salad.  However, just like making vinaigrette, with some work, RTW and subrogation can emulsify and yield a delightfully popular result.

Think of it as a family get-together where Subrina shows up to the [third] party, in her suit, hungry.  Some family members see Subrina as a person who only looks out for herself and is at the table to gorge upon as much as she can, and stuff her pockets with whatever else she can just because she doesn't want anyone else to have it.  The other guests fail to recall that she paid for a nice portion of the food being provided.

Meanwhile, Rhett T. Wellnest (RTW), the long lost cousin, is in the kitchen preparing the food.  He decides that he is going to help everyone with their New Year’s resolutions to get healthy by making up everyone’s plates as opposed to a buffet-style meal.  Rhett limits the amount of food on the table, thereby reducing the amount that Subrina will get.

Subrina may be upset at first, because there’s less food on the table, but realizes that she can only eat so much.  She leaves the table feeling glad that she didn’t over eat. She thanks her cousin Rhett, as it has helped her fill her up (make her whole) and not overindulge.
