Description
HENRY, Justice. OPINION This is a workmen's compensation action wherein the ultimate question is the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the action of the Chancellor in awarding sixty-five (65%) percent permanent partial disability to the body as a whole in a case wherein the injury was to the upper left extremity. The insurance carrier insists that the injury was to a scheduled member, i.e., the arm, and, therefore, an award based upon disability to the body as a whole is not authorized by § 50-1007(c) T.C.A. Relying upon Chapman v. Clement Bros., Inc., 222 Tenn. 223, 435 S.W.2d 117 (1968), the carrier would have us equate ""upper left extremity"" with ""arm"" and hold that benefits are restricted to the statutory schedule. We reject this insistence.
