In my medical opinion the partially amputated right big toe will not interfere with his position and job as chief officer.” (Id. at 335) On 7 April 2010, Dr. Gutay wrote: “Absence of big toe is not a disqualifier for sea service as it does not necessarily affect functional capacity of the lower extremity or functional capacity of the feet. Likewise, it does not put an individual in any additional risk for injury or disable him from performing safety sensitive functions. Further, there is no medical fitness standards for sailors that make absence of big toe a disqualifier for sea service.” (Id. at 336) On 29 April 2010, Dr. Bacungan again wrote: “This has reference to your inquiry regarding the case of Dario Carcedo, who underwent amputation of the first and second toe of the left foot. According to our Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Albert Dy, the above patient can still assume his work as seaman provided the nature of his job is supervisory.” (Id. at 334) [48] Id. at 184.
