Narrative

IE was installing a section of C-channel when he noticed a pain in his abdomen/groin region. IE visited a local clinic later that day which diagnosed him with a swollen lymph node, NOT work-related. The following week, the IE's personal dr diagnosed him with a mild hernia. It was back and forth for awhile, trying to determine compensability. Finally determined compensable.
