I concur in the main opinion. Although I dissented inInternational Paper Co. v. Melton, 866 So.2d 1158
(Ala.Civ.App. 2003), my dissent in that case was predicated upon the speculative nature of the medical evidence supporting the trial court's finding of causation. In this case, however, two medical professionals unequivocally tied Manuel's carpal tunnel syndrome to his work, and the trial court could properly have found that evidence "clear and convincing" so as to meet the standard set forth in § 25-5-81(c), Ala. Code 1975.
