1Opinion of the Court
SUMMERS, Justice.
This Workers’ Compensation case presents as its principal issue the non-compliance of a medical report with the Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (Guides), adopted and published by the American Medical Association. The employer's doctor disregarded inconsistent test results showing pulmonary impairment, and determined instead that the claimant had no such impairment. We find that the employer’s doctor could disregard the inconsistent results, but in so doing was required to perform an additional test before finding that the claimant was not impaired.
