## Opinion text

*396 Concurring Opinion by
Judge Doyle:
I concur with both the analysis of the issues and the conclusion reached by the majority, and write only to make clear that my dissent in Bell Telephone Co. of Pennsylvania v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board (DeMay), 87 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 558, 568 , 487 A.2d 1053, 1058 (1985), where I would have required an unusual stressful condition for the particular position in question, dealt with a situation of psychological stimulus causing a psychic injury. As the majority opinion correctly points out, the injury presented to us here is a cardiac physical injury, not a psychic injury. See Griesinger v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board (Atlantic Richfield Co.), 94 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 332 , 503 A.2d 1016 (1986); Yuhas v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board (City of Pittsburgh), 82 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 390 , 476 A.2d 1377 (1984).
