Description
[62 A.D.2d 1121 Page 1121] Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this court by order of the Supreme Court at Special Term, entered in Albany County) to review a determination of the State Comptroller, which denied petitioner's application for accidental disability retirement. Petitioner, an employee of the State of New York for approximately 22 years, was injured on February 17, 1974 while working as a Mental Hygiene Therapist's Aid on the geriatrics ward of the Central Islip State Hospital in Central Islip, New York. The petitioner's duties were those of an attendant and consisted of keeping watch over the patients and generally attending to their needs which included placing them in wheelchairs when necessary. When staffing permitted, two attendants were employed in transferring each patient from his bed to a wheelchair. The procedure consisted in placing the chair against the side of the bed and sliding the patient into it, each attendant holding the patient under an arm. When staffing was short, the attendants worked alone. Petitioner [62 A.D.2d 1121 Page 1122]
