On 7th and 23rd November 1923
Report of Meeting held 23rd November, 1923
Elemore. George A. Teasdale, 49, stoneman.
On the 30th January, 1923, Teasdale slipped whilst going along a shaft siding and dislocated his knee. He was paid full compensation until 19th March when he commenced work and worked until 21st April. He was off until 31st May when he started light work on the belts, and compensation is refused because Dr. Todd reported that Teasdale was not disabled by the injury.
The case was adjourned on 12th September for a joint report to be obtained from Dr. Martin.
Dr. Martin reported on 17th September as follows :—
"This man has probably suffered from osteo-arthritis of both knees, in a slight degree, for some time past. As a result of the accident of January 30th, the right knee received a severe twist which has aggravated the osteo-arthritis in this joint. Cases such as these are often met with and are always difficult and tedious to treat. He is still suffering from the effects of the accident and is at present only able to do the work he is at present doing. He should undergo a further examination in six months."
The Committee on 26th September awarded the light work rate to continue.
Teasdale claimed he was wholly disabled from 23rd April to 4th June.
Dr. Watson reported on 15th June as follows :—
"I certify that G. Teasdale received an injury to his knee on 30th January, 1923. Started work on 19th March, failed again on 21st April, and was still unable to work as the result of the original injury when I last saw him about 31st May."
Adjourned.
