What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
Dr. Britton’s reporting and deposition testimony should be transmitted to Dr. Hirsch; Dr. Hirsch’s reporting will be judged on its own merit and must constitute substantial medical evidence
From the decision · page 5Accordingly, we grant reconsideration and amend the WCJ’s decision to reflect that applicant “claims” injury to the various body parts, and to reflect that the parties are to transmit Dr. Britton’s testimony and reporting to Dr. Hirsch. We express no opinion on any other outstanding issue in this matter.
