Further information: Initially Hadley's back pain was diagnosed as sciatica due to spondylosis, which was shown on X-ray, therefore not attributable to his accident. An initial hearing on 23 August 1960 was adjourned, following which an orthopaedic report gave 'his trouble was due to pressure on the nerve root in the back, and the most probable cause was a prolapsed disc [...] there cannot be any doubt that the injury was responsible'. |
