ORDER ALLOWING CLAIMANT CHOICE OF PHYSICIAN

THIS CAUSE , having come before this Court on Motion to Allow Claimant Choice of Physician, and the Court, after hearing argument of counsel, reviewing the medical records herein and considering the same, does find as follows:
 

I.

That the Court has jurisdiction over both the parties and subject matter herein.
 

II.

Claimant is entitled to a physician of his choice in this matter.
 

III.

Claimant was initially taken by the Employer to the emergency room on the date of his injury and was seen by the emergency room physician, Dr. Chip Holbrook there who referred him to Dr. Chris Ethridge. Dr. Ethridge subsequently ordered a nerve conduction study, which was performed by Dr. Michael Graeber, the same of which indicated that Claimant was complaining pain in his shoulder.
 

IV.

The Court finds that Claimant has not had his choice of physicians and is, therefore, entitled to a physician to treat him for his hand and shoulder problems associated with his right extremity injury, for which the Employer and Carrier shall be financially responsible.

SO ORDERED AND ADJUDGED this the 10th day of November, 1999.
