1Opinion of the Court
HERBERT A. CADE, Judge Pro Tern.
August 26, 1985 Dorothy Williams was admitted to Pendleton Memorial Hospital suffering from a cough and shortness of breath. She suspected that her illness was caused by bleach and amonia fumes she breathed as a maid for the Fairmont Hotel, and so informed her doctor. After ten days’ treatment she was released, her condition on discharge diagnosed as probable viral pneumonia, “etiology still not clear.” Aetna Casualty refused worker’s compensation benefits, finding on the basis of her discharge report that her illness was not work related.
