The Plaintiff Don Marshall was injured at work on September 8, 2010. He reported a pain in his left lateral lower chest. Mr. Marshall also had a prior history of ulcerative colitis, which prohibited him from taking nonsteriodial anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medications because of his condition. After the injury he went to the Laskey County Memorial Hospital on September 9, 2010. Pat Jones P.A. and Dr. Smith treated him there. He explained to Pat Jones that he could not take (NSAID) and was prescribed a sample amount of Tramadol. He returned on September 12, 2010 for more Tramadol.
His condition improved by a reported 50% when he went to see Pat Jones again on September 20,
