‘worker could not recover for loss of
use of his leg, where it was shown
he had deliberately torn the bandages
and splints from the leg and left the
hospital without permission.

Cautionary Note: Workmen should
never treat themselves under any
circumstances, When the worker sees
his doctor, he should give him a de-
tailed history of just how the acei-
dent happened and describe just what
part of his body was injured. Often
the workér loses valuable rights be-
cause he fails to tell the first: examin-

worker .

may last for several weeks or for the

worker's lifetime,. depending: on -the-.--

type’ and seriousness of the injury.

This .general statement, however,
is tuv broad to be ‘helpful: “he law
sets up many. tests to cover the ul-
most infinite variations in the types
of injury which workers sustain jn
industry, and the differing payments
of weekly wages that they receive.
It will therefore be necessary to ex-
nunine separately and. more closely
the two important questions affecting
the amount. of compensation, the.
worker will receive, :

1. How much money compatisation
injured... worker receive
weekly? Or, to. put it .differently, .
what will his compensation rate be?

“2. Wor how many weeks will he
veceive these payments?

with the Compensation rate,
