Dissenting Opinion

MADDOX, Justice

(dissenting).

I dissent for the same reasons I dissented in Ex parte Northam, 689 So.2d 854 (Ala. 1996). I do not believe that the testimony of an employee that he or she is disabled is substantial evidence upon which a finding of disability can be made, if there is no medical evidence to support such a finding; therefore, I would issue the writ of certiorari.
