AMERICAN HOSPITAL SUPPLY, DADE DIVISION and American Motorists Insurance Company, Appellants, v. Timothy McCARTY and the Division of Workers’ Compensation, Appellees.
    No. AG-147.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    June 24, 1982.
    Rehearing Denied Aug. 11, 1982.
    Summers Warden, Miami, for appellants.
    H. George Kagan of Miller, Hodges & Kagan, Miami, for appellees.
   MILLS, Judge.

The employer/carrier appeal a compensation order awarding temporary total disability (TTD) and reserving jurisdiction over attorney’s fees. We reverse.

The reports of Dr. Averbuch are not competent substantial evidence to support the award. There being no other medical evidence of temporary total disability, and no work search having been conducted, the award of TTD is not supported by the record. The cause is remanded for further proceedings based on the existing record.

McCORD and SHIVERS, JJ., concur.
