area below the ribs radiating to his groin. At the Honmoku Hospital in Yokohama,
Japan, respondent was diagnosed with suspected renal and/or ureter calculus.[7] He
was declared “unfit for work” and advised to be sent home and undergo further
detailed examination and treatment.[8]
Respondent was thus repatriated on October 12, 2004 and was referred by
petitioners to Dr. Nicomedes G. Cruz (Dr. Cruz), the company-designated physician.
On October 20, 2004, Dr. Cruz examined respondent, and thereafter, in his Medical
Report,[9] Dr. Cruz wrote:
The patient was seen today in our clinic. The IVP x-ray showed mild
prostate enlargement with signs suggestive of cystitis. He was seen by
our urologist and repeat urinalysis was requested.

To consider Ureterolithiasis, right
MEDICATION:
Buscopan
Advised to come back on November 10, 2004[10]
Respondent was examined once more on November 10, 2004, and his Medical
Report[11] for such examination reads as follows:
The patient was seen today in our clinic. The urinalysis done was normal.
He complains of right lumbosacral pain which is probably secondary to
lumbosacral muscular strain. He was seen by our urologist and ultrasound
of the KUB-P was requested.
DIAGNOSIS:
To consider Ureterolithiasis, right
MEDICATION:

Advised to come back on November 17, 2004
Respondent returned to Dr. Cruz for check-up on November 17, 2004. His Medical
Report[12] for such appointment states:
The patient was seen today in our clinic. The ultrasound of the KUB
showed the following 1) small, mild calyceal non-obstructing stone his
[sic] left kidney 2) cortical cyst at the inferior pole of the left kidney 3)
small parenchymal calcification in the mid portion of the right kidney and
4) mild prostatic enlargement with concretion. Our urologist
recommended medical dissolution of the left kidney stone since it is
small. However, he recommended lumbosacral x-ray of the back to
evaluate the right lower back pain.
