Crohn's is just bowel problems: bad gut bacteria + autoimmune issues. There's occasional debilitating flare ups with sometimes serious complications. Otherwise, just imagine having low grade diarrhea 24 hours a day. Occasionally there's very minor containment failures. The guy should go to work; it keeps him going. It keeps his family fed. It's better than going on welfare.
He should have perhaps considered changing the Fruit of the Looms a couple of times a day, though.
Regardless, many people have health problems that make getting to an doing work a challenge. Meeting that challenge is way better and sitting at home.
