Progress Drilling, Inc. v. Fussell

Florida District Courts of Appeal December 3, 1979

Progress Drilling, Inc. v. Fussell, 377 So. 2d 56 (1979)

1979 Fla. App. LEXIS 16129

Shaw, Smith, Wentworth

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The employer/carrier appeals a worker’s compensation order which we hereby affirm except as to the award of medical costs for surgery performed by Dr. Brown. The record reveals no authorization of Dr. Brown as a treating physician, nor any request that the employer/carrier provide such treatment. The award of such medical expense is therefore in error. MJM Construction Co. v. Roberts, IRC Order 2-3387 (March 31, 1978).

Accordingly, the order is affirmed in part and reversed in part.

ROBERT P. SMITH, Jr., Acting C. J., and SHAW and WENTWORTH, JJ., concur.
