Your lawyer appeared to accept the bona fides of the worker's claim with no objection. That tells me a lot. So far the system appears to be working exactly as intended.

Ok, first you keep implying that I am not telling the truth in regards to his "injury", this is not the case (though I appreciate the sentiment
)
He was diagnosed with "Basilar joint arthritis"
The doctors exact quote is as follows regarding his recommendation:
"This patient continues to do poorly. I do think he is a good candidate for basilar joint reconstruction, but I think that despite surgical intervention, he will probably require long-term, if not permanent job restrictions when he returns to work, minimizing repetitive and forceful pinching and gripping. He is aware of this. He had no further questions."
So yes Rodeo, there is "a surgical remedy for that". I don't make things up believe it or not.
