MEDICAL DISQUALIFICATIONS. A. If a Trainman is found to be medically disqualified by the Company's physician and the Trainman is of the opinion that his condition does not justify removal from the service or restriction of his rights to service, appeal will be made to the designated officer of the Company for a joint medical board to be established.
B. The Trainman involved, or his representative will select a physician to represent him and the Company will select a physician to represent it (who may be the original examining physician) in conducting a further medical examination. If the two physicians thus selected agree, the conclusion reached by them as to the individual's medical condition will be final.
C. If the two physicians selected do not agree as to the medical condition of such individual, they will select a third physician to be agreed upon by them, who shall be a practitioner of recognized standing in the medical profession and a specialist in the disease or ailment from which the individual is alleged to be suffering. The three physicians thus selected will examine the Trainman and render a report with reasonable promptness setting forth his physical condition and their opinion as to his fitness to continue service in his regular employment, which shall be accepted as final. Should the decision be adverse to the individual, and it later appears through medical findings that his condition has improved, a re-examination by the Company's physician will be arranged after a reasonable interval upon the request of the Trainman or the Union.
D. The Company and the Trainman will each pay for the costs of their chosen physician and share equally in paying the costs of the third physician.
