The Supreme Court dismissed the claimant's request for additional compensation regarding a shoulder injury sustained while transporting a patient. The claimant argued that a pre-existing shoulder injury, previously compensated, was aggravated by the accident, but the court found no evidence of a new, independent injury. Consequently, the court ruled that the original compensation covered the total damage, leaving no basis for further payment.
