Non-Fatal Cases.
5216. Ushaw Moor. Arthur Potts, 14, helper-up.
Was pushing the tub with his head when he slipped and sprained his neck on 11th September, 1922. The Owners' doctor certified that the disability was not due to the accident and compensation was consequently refused.
The case was before the last meeting of the Committee when it was adjourned in order to get a report from Dr. Drummond.
Dr. Drummond reported on 4th December, 1922 :—
"This lad was brought to me on December 4th, and a certificate was submitted from Dr. French dated September 18th, 1922, in which he stated that he had found albumin in the urine.
I went carefully into the case with a view of determining whether or not Arthur Potts is now suffering from Bright's Disease. His face appeared to he somewhat puffy, was pale, and suggested kidney mischief. His heart apex was somewhat displaced and the left ventricle enlarged, whilst the blood pressure was raised, viz., 135 mm. fig., which is some or 20 points higher than the normal in a lad of his age. The urine, which he passed in large quantity, was specific gravity 1.015. It contained no albumin, but on allowing it to stand and on examining the deposit under the microscope, I found sonic blood cells and a few hyaline casts of the kidney tubules.
I am, therefore, of opinion that, notwithstanding the absence of albumen from the urine, Arthtir Potts is suffering from a form of Chronic Bright's Disease."
Disallowed.
