Non-Fatal Cases.
4992. Thornley. Samuel Beresford, 68, shifter.
Injured his back on 2nd April, 1922, by lifting an iron girder. He reported the accident and compensation was stopped on 15th July, on a report from Dr. Leigh-de-Legh that certified Beresford to be no longer suffering from the injury.
The case was before the Committee on 11th September, and it was decided to refer the case to Dr. Clay for a report.
Dr. Clay examined Beresford on 18th September, and reported as follows :—
"I examined Samuel Beresford on the 18th September. He stated that on 22nd April, 1922, he had strained his back while lifting a steel girder.
I found that he was suffering from general weakness.
There was tenderness when the skin over the lower part of the back and abdomen was nipped between the fingers and pain when deeper pressure was made. There was no evidence of rupture of muscles or injury to bones.
The urine contained a considerable quantity of sugar.
I am of opinion that at present he is not fit for employment. His incapacity is due to general disease and is not due to the accident."
Disallowed.
