MCCARTHY, J. The self-insurer appeals an administrative judge’s decision that awarded the employee G. L. c. 152, § 34, temporary total incapacity benefits; G. L. c. 152, § 35, partial incapacity benefits; payment of § 30 medical expenses; attorneys fees, costs; and interest pursuant to § 50. On appeal the self-insurer claims that the judge erred in not applying the "normal wear and tear doctrine." See Zerofski’s Case, 385 Mass. 590 (1982). We disagree and affirm the decision. G. L. c. 152, § 11C.
