Employee became disoriented and was walking along mine road. He was taken to local hospital, then transferred to Austin for further testing. The hospital has still not drawn any conclusive reason for his being disoriented. Perhaps medication issue. He is being seen by a neurologist and his pcp. He has not returned to work as of this time.
