EVENT: In 2008, Bob Arthur pulled his back while playing a scrimmage game of basketball with his friends at a local gym. Bob, who was a maintenance technician and working in a Totem County middle school, never spoke of the incident while at work and kept working without constraints.   Bob was hired in June 2009 by another school system to perform the same duties he had while working for Totem County Public Schools. In September, Bob told his supervisor he pulled a muscle in his back in June and that his back was hurting him now. Bob said that he was unable to perform his daily duties at the school. Bob told his supervisor that he pulled the muscle in June when he was dumping trash from a wheelbarrow off of a roof and into a dumpster below. Bob did not report the incident when it happened in June there were no witnesses who saw Bob actually get hurt. Bob was not eligible for disability retirement because he had only been working for the new county a short-period of time.
