The Board adopted the judge's report, which found that Dr. Delamarter's reports were limited to a second opinion on surgery, not all issues, rendering his temporary disability opinions unsubstantial. The judge also upheld the defendant's entitlement to a $67,639 third-party credit from the applicant's civil settlement, finding no employer negligence proximately caused the injury. The Board found no basis for the applicant's claims of excess power or that the evidence did not justify the findings.
