CompFox AI Summary
Applicant Jack Little sustained admitted industrial injuries to his knees and back, resulting in permanent disability and a need for ongoing medical treatment, including for his hypertension. The Appeals Board denied reconsideration of the finding that applicant's erectile dysfunction is not a compensable consequence of the industrial injuries, as both medical evaluators concluded it was not caused by the work injuries. However, a dissenting commissioner argued for reconsideration to further develop the record regarding whether the industrially-caused hypertension and its medications contribute to the erectile dysfunction.
