Appellant also alleges that no doctor had ever witnessed appellee in an active seizure and the medical tests did not provide definite evidence of seizures. Therefore, appellant submits, the most likely cause of appellee's alleged seizures is alcohol. We are going to go ahead and repeat his EEG while we have him in today. This episode started yesterday afternoon at which time he was noted to have tonic clonic movement of all extremities. He was postictal at the time of arrival at emergency room however he started coming out of his postictal state shortly thereafter.
Loss of memory extends for at least an hour.
The Commission accepted Dr. Krin's opinion regarding appellee's seizures and their etiology, and since it is the Commission's function to weigh the medical evidence, its resolution of the issue has the force and effect of a jury verdict. It is, however, suspected that the patient is doing something at home, more than what he relates to me as he does have heavily calloused hands which I would not expect after this period of time and also, it appears that he has lateral epicondylitis which is a repetitive trauma type disorder and it is my suspicion that the man is doing some type of work at home that he is not relating to me. The only thing that I can find as a cause of his continued seizures and headaches is the accident referred to above. The Commission chose to accept the medical opinion of appellee's treating physician, Dr. Krin, over that of Dr. Horne. When the Commission chooses to accept the opinion of one physician over another, the courts are powerless to reverse the Commission's conclusion in this regard.
