        "text": "OPINION\nJOE W. WOOD, Judge, Court of Appeals.\nPlaintiff appeals from a denial of workmen\u2019s compensation. All of the points on appeal relate.to the issue of causal connection between disability and accident. The trial court found that plaintiff does not and has not suffered from any disability which, as a medical probability, is a natural and direct result of the claimed accident.\nPlaintiff\u2019s\u2019 attack on this finding\" relies on the' testimony of one medical witness. There were two other medical witnesses whose testimony conflicts with plaintiffs\u2019 medical witness on the questions of (1) any injury at all, (2) plaintiff\u2019s physical condition and (3) the cause of his present physical condition.\nThe trial court resolved the conflicts in the medical testimony and determined the facts. Its findings of fact are supported by substantial evidence. Not having established the causal connection required by \u00a7 59-10-13.3 (B), N.M.S.A. 1953, plaintiff cannot recover. See Torres v. Kennecott Copper Corp., 76 N.M. 623, 417 P.2d 435, August 22, 1966.\nThe judgment is affirmed.\nIt is so ordered.\nNOBLE and MOISE, JJ., concur.",
