Employment — workers compensation — permanent total disability

Joseph M. Cefalu appeals from an order affirming the Labor and Industry Review Commission’s (LIRC) determination that Cefalu was not entitled to permanent total disability benefits. Cefalu argues that LIRC erroneously exercised its discretion in refusing to admit a prescription drug package insert suggesting that the medication could lead to perforated ulcers. Cefalu also argues that LIRC relied upon physician reports that were factually inaccurate. We affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
