CALLIOTTE, J. The self-insurer appeals from a decision ordering it to pay the employee § 34A temporary total incapacity benefits beginning on December 2, 2016. The self-insurer argues that the judge erred by crediting the testimony of the employee’s vocational expert, and by failing to consider or analyze the employee’s refusal to undergo surgery. We affirm the decision.
