2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““This was no routine examination such as many persons submit to periodically. That the result of that examination was reassuring to him did not justify his unequivocal denial of any consultation. Cf. Perkins v. Prudential Ins. Co., 7 Cir., 69 F.2d 218 . His clear recollection of all the consultations later when he desired to use them to support his claim for compensation negatives the idea of mere forgetfulness.””
