Text: [¶ 2] Ball presents these issues: 1. Was the decision of the Hearing Officer that James Ball's hernia was compensable under the second injury doctrine correct? 2. Did the District Court err by concluding as a matter of law that James Ball's hernia did not occur within the course of employment as required under § 27-14-603(c)(iii) (LexisNexis 2009)? 3. Should Wyoming recognize that injuries occurring from complications of medical treatment of work-related injuries are themselves compensable? The Wyoming Workers' Safety and Compensation Division (Division) states a single issue: Did the Hearing Examiner commit an error of law by analyzing Appellant's injury under the second compensatory injury doctrine and by failing to properly apply the requirements of Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 27-14-603(c)?
