Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This was a Workmen's Compensation case. The record discloses that the claimant, a man about 50 years of age, was working for respondent who was operating under the Workmen's Compensation Act, in May, 1953. His work, at that time, was to take several cars of wheat, belonging to the government, out of the elevator bins and get the bins ready to use for the next harvest. While so working he stepped on a nail which went through the about half-worn-out oxford slippers he was wearing. The nail penetrated his foot about one-half inch, just back of the little toe and toward the next toe of his right foot. Claimant had diabetes and at the time of his injury he was taking a double shot of insulin each day. He testified that he told Mr. Rishel, the manager of the elevator for respondent, about the injury the next day and again two or three days later. The foot did not bother him at once. In two weeks it began to give him some trouble. He used hot applications and other home treatment but it continued to get worse. About the 20th of July he went to a doctor who found gangrene in the toe and [177 Kan. 402] foot and promptly put him in a hospital. After he had been in the hospital about seven or eight days the right leg was amputated about seven inches below the knee. That did not heal properly and a few days later the second operation was performed in which the leg was amputated about four or five inches below the knee.
