Description
The facts out of which this claim arose are not in dispute. The claimant was a machine operator for employer. On September 15, 1958, while guiding a pipe being pulled by a dragline, he was knocked to the ground. He immediately got to his feet, brushed himself off and continued to work. His employer, who was also his father-in-law, saw the incident, but when the employee got up and went right back to the heavy work he was doing as before and made no complaint and made no report as to any injury, the matter was given no further attention by either the employer or the employee. Employee continued to work on this construction job through the remainder of September and into October without interruption, and not once complained to his father-in-law of any back injury. In October he went to Kansas where he engaged in heavy work "running a blade, a motor grader" (a rubber-tired caterpillar) described by the claimant as heavy type construction work. At that time he began to suffer back aches and for the first time consulted a physician. The following July, when his symptoms became so aggravated that he was unable to do more work, he entered the Veterans Hospital for treatment.
