Registered nurse filed claim for workers' compensation benefits. Commission reversed arbitrator's decision, finding claimant failed to prove she sustained work-related accident to her right shoulder. Record contains sufficient support for Commission's decision. Commission resolved disputed facts, including finding that Claimant was not credible, and finding that medical experts of both parties mainly agreed that history and mechanism of injury was not a reasonable or likely cause of the right shoulder condition. (HOLDRIDGE, HOFFMAN, HUDSON, and BARBERIS, concurring.)
