Woodley, John

In consolidated cases, applicant John Woodley sought reconsideration of a take-nothing order in ADJ10641716 (cardiovascular/skin claim), and defendant City of Pasadena sought reconsideration of a Findings and Award in ADJ10749935 (orthopedic claim). On the cardiovascular claim, the Board found that QME internist Dr. Capen's deposition testimony established that work stress within two years of the November 2015 cardiac surgery supported industrial causation, and applicant's documented stress through mid-2014 fell within that window. The Board rescinded the take-nothing order, found industrial coronary heart disease and skin scarring, awarded temporary disability and 40% unapportioned permanent disability (rejecting Dr. Capen's apportionment opinion as not substantial evidence under Escobedo). On the orthopedic claim, the Board affirmed industrial injury but deleted temporary disability (no wage loss under Rodarte) and corrected the permanent disability rating from a misstated 8% (unadjusted WPI) to the properly adjusted 21%.
