All medical examinations required by or made
pursuant to the provisions of this Act shall be conducted by the City
physician, or some other physician duly authorized by the Director
of Public Safety; provided, however, that any member, within 30 days
after receipt of the decision of such physician, in writing may request
that the decision of such physician be reviewed by a special medical
board which shall consist of one doctor appointed by the Director
of Public Safety other than the doctor who made the physical examination
and a doctor selected and compensated by such member. The decision
of such special board shall supersede the decision of the examining
physician. In the event that the two doctors of the special board
shall disagree, a recognized specialist on the condition, disease
or injury for which such member has been examined or for which disability
is claimed shall be selected by such doctors to be a third member
of the special board. The decision of a majority of the three members
of such special board shall supersede the decision of the examining
physician. The specialist selected by the two doctors of the special
board shall be compensated by the City. Such compensation shall be
fixed by the City Manager and shall be subject to his audit.
