## Opinion text

Dissenting Opinion by
Judge MacPhail :
I respectfully dissent.
While I agree with the majority’s treatment of what is meant by “unequivocal medical testimony”, my own review of the record leads me to the conclusion that such testimony is lacking in the instant case. For that reason, I would reverse.
