Syllabus

Relator's request for a writ of mandamus based on alleged error in the grant of permanent disability benefits to its former employee is denied, and the objections to the decision of the magistrate, which is adopted in full, are overruled. The Industrial Commission did not rely on an internally inconsistent medical report when concluding that respondent was permanently disabled and unable to perform sustained remunerative employment. The superfluous references to vocational rehabilitation were irrelevant to the doctor's ultimate finding concerning respondent's permanent disability and, contrary to respondent's argument, were based upon findings from a physical examination of respondent and memorialized in the report.
