W I talked to Dave Smith of Drew/ Eckl & Farnham today regarding the status
H of
They have advised us that the claimant has since
been hospitalized for a lymph node condition which appears to be unrelated
p to his stoke.
Dave has advised the attorney of record that we/ as the employer/ will not honor any medical expenses related to the lymph node condition. His decision is supported by Dr. McNam/ the attending physician/ who does indicate there is no relationship between the two. It is understood that Dave Smith will follow up,with Dr. McNam to determine if this lymph node condition is in any way affecting his current disability related to the stroke. If so, he will try to determine what portion is due to the stroke and what portion is due to the lymph node condition.
I advised Dave that I will follow up with Jerry Owen of SIS to schedule an independent medical evaluation to determine the claimant's current extent of disability. He will continue to follow up to make sure no medical expenses are paid that relate to the lymph node condition.
