In the Matter of the Claim of FRANK CARTENUTO, Respondent, against McCONNELL COMPANY, INC., and UTICA MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellants. STATE INDUSTRIAL BOARD, Respondent.

Claimant suffered an industrial injury to his foot; in addition thereto he suffered from osteomyelitis in his foot. The doctors advised amputation of the foot; the claimant has declined to follow their advice. Whether or not this was reasonable was a question of fact to be determined by the State Industrial Board. The injury to the foot wholly incapacitates the claimant, and confines him to his bed. This does not constitute a schedule loss, and may as a matter of fact result in total disability. Award unanimously affirmed, with costs to the State Industrial Board.
