Summary
In Matter of Buchanan v. Bethlehem Steel Co. (302 N.Y. 848 [1951]) the claimant had a congenitally weak back; and the medical testimony was that 'his work superimposed on a weak back caused his disablement' (278 A.D. 594). The work itself consisted of piling and binding of articles of steel, in which work claimant was engaged for about four years, but the disablement due to the condition of his back was held to be an occupational disease.
