  • not necessary for claimant to know the exact diagnosis for the condition if he or she knows enough about its nature to realize that it is both serious and work-connected, citing 2B Larson, Workmen’s Compensation § 78.41(d), at 15-271 [1996]

The opinion

Douglas, J.,

concurring. I concur in both paragraphs of the syllabus as well as the opinion and ultimate judgment of the majority. Much of what Justice Resnick says in this opinion has needed saying for a long time. My only reservation and regret is that Clementi v. Wean United, Inc. (1988), 39 Ohio St.3d 342 , 530 N.E.2d 909 , is “modified” rather than “overruled.”
