Description
MILLIKEN, Judge. The Harlan Circuit Court affirmed a ruling of the Workmen's Compensation Board which concluded that the claimant, Lester Roark, did not have silicosis and therefore refused him compensation. A referee of the Board had concluded that the claimant was permanently and totally disabled from silicosis, but recommended that the Board appoint a medical specialist in the field to examine him, a recommendation which the Board accepted by appointing Dr. Oscar O. Miller of Louisville. After the examination by Dr. Miller, the receipt of his report and the taking of his deposition, the Full Board concluded, after consideration of all the medical evidence in the record as well as the findings of Dr. Miller, that ""* * * we are unable to determine that this plaintiff's disability is the result of any occupational disease.""
