Title	Medical Appeal Tribunal case file for Thomas Freeman, aged 48, Miner at Glapwell, relating to an Industrial Accident
Date	1955
Description	Date of birth: 05/02/1907 Marital status: Not given Address: 124 Derby road, Chesterfield Type of injury: Injury - chest with emphysema Description of accident: Using sylvester to withdraw arch girder, the chain broke allowing handle to fly back and hit chest Further information: From physician's report to Medical Board: 'I think this man's shortness of breath is due to emphysema […] it often seems that a chest injury precipitates symptoms'. From hospital report February 1955: 'On examination he was puffing and bllowing ostentatiously and apparently unnecessariily [...] his dyspnoea seemed out of proportion to both the clinical and the radiological findings. There appeared to be some functional overlay which may be connected with the question of compensation'.
