September 7, 2011 APPEAL FROM THE ARKANSAS WORKERS COMPENSATION COMMISSION [NO. F905402] DEBORAH WARNOCK APPELLEE AFFIRMED JOHN MAUZY PITTMAN, Judge The appellee, Deborah Warnock, was employed by appellant St. Edward Mercy Medical Center as a respiratory therapist when she fell and sustained admittedly compensable injuries to her right shoulder and knee on May 8, 2009. She filed a claim for additional medical benefits and temporary total disability, which was granted by the Commission. On appeal, appellants contend that the evidence is insufficient to support the Commission s findings that the requested surgery was reasonably necessary medical treatment for appellee s shoulder injury and that appellee was in her healing period and totally incapacitated from earning wages. The only question on appeal is the sufficiency of the evidence. Because the Commission s findings are supported by substantial evidence and its opinion adequately explains the decision, we affirm by memorandum opinion. In re Memorandum Opinions, 16 Cite as 2011 Ark. App. 500 Ark. App. 301, 700 S.W.2d 63 (1985). See Kilgore v. CTL Distribution, Inc., 2010 Ark. App. 360. Affirmed. G LADWIN and B ROWN, JJ., agree. 2
