These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The theory of the court in each of these decisions is that an epileptic fit might not have caused injury or death, except for the fact that the work of the employe required him, at the time, to be at the particular place where he fell. It is stated by the court in the Wicks case, above cited, that ‘the accident none the less arises out of his employment because its remote cause is to be found in his own (employe’s) physical condition.’ ””

2. ““There is no direct evidence that appellees’ decedent fell in the tank as a result of an epileptic fit, and we cannot say that the Industrial Board found that appellees’ decedent, at the time of his death, fell as a result of the disease of epilepsy. There is authority, however, which would support the award even if the board had so found.””
