On Monday, June 12th 1922
4667. Philadelphia. John Laing, 24, hewer.
Received injuries to his back on 3rd February, 1922. He was paid compensation up to 8th March, 1922, when he was examined by Dr. Todd and reported as able to do his ordinary work as a hewer. Laing alleged he is at present totally disabled and claimed compensation up to the present time, refusing to go to the O.M.R.
The case was adjourned at the last meeting for a report to be obtained from Dr. Martin.
Dr. Martin reported on 9th May, 1922 :—
"In this case I think there can be no doubt that in consequence of the accident there has been a fracture of one or more of the lumbar vertebrae. At the present time he cannot carry on any form of employment and I very much doubt whether he will ever be able to do hewer's work again. He ought to be fitted with a suitable spinal support."
Claim allowed.
