		The prescribed ‘treatment’ would be disabling, all right, but it would not require an accommodation by the employer, for the condition being treated would be too vague and remote and the treatment too conjectural.” The second qualification, the court noted, is where the anticipated disability is a consequence of the employee’s voluntary choices.
