Reed v. Arkansas Methodist Hospital9/27/2000
roblem had developed." Further, appellant testified that she informed her charge nurse and several of her supervisors about the injury, despite testimony from these individuals that they could not recall any notice of appellant's back problems until after they had received an incident report from appellant on August 3 or thereafter. Evidence showed that appellant continued to work after the injury until her appointment with Dr. Crawley on July 24, 1998, and that Dr. Crawley's medical reports did not reflect any reference to a job-related injury. Despite appellant's testimony that she knew the procedures regarding reporting injuries, appellant could not remember the name of the charge nurse on the night of the incident. Appellant also testified that she did not obtain an incident report from her charge nurse, even though there was evidence that incident forms were on every hospital floor. In addition, the Commission found that although appellant hurt her back, which required surgery, there was a "dearth of evidence in the record to show that this occurred at work, and not while [appellant] was moving her home."
In reviewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the Commission's findings, we cannot say that there is no substantial evidence to support the Commission's finding that appellant failed to prove that her back injury was sustained during her employment with appellee.
Affirmed.
