Description
It is not disputed that the petitioner, a married man of the age of 56 years, while in the employ of respondent employer, Ray DeBerge, on December 20, 1943, received an injury by accident arising out of and in the course of his employment, nor is the amount of his earnings now in controversy. It appears that while descending a stairway with narrow steps, carrying a load of merchandise in his arms weighing approximately 75 pounds, his foot slipped one or more steps and he came down with his weight on his right foot. He felt an immediate sharp pain in the region of his lower back. The injury was immediately reported to his employer, who directed him to a physician. He was first examined and treated by Dr. G. Robert Barfoot, who, in his initial report to the Commission, described the injury as "tenderness over both sacroiliac joints at the sacrolumbar region". He further stated that the X-ray examination made by W. Warner Watkins, M.D. showed "negative for recent injury, old sacroiliac arthritis". That the physician did not consider this injury serious was evidenced by the fact that he estimated treatment for about two weeks would permit the petitioner to return to his usual work.
