working one day, a co-worke? Guess worked on the assembly line at Sharp Manufacturing Company of America. While working one day, a co-worker cut his hand. The co-worker's blood got on Guess's hand. Guess testified that she had cuts on her hand and had just gotten a manicure. Guess became hysterical because she believed her co-worker to be gay and thought he had AIDS because he "looked and acted gay." Guess was later diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder. She applied for workers' compensation, and it was granted based on her mental injury. Sharp Manufacturing appealed the decision, arguing that Guess had been tested for HIV five times and that all results had been negative. How do you think the appellate court should rule? [Guess v. Sharp Manufacturing Co. of America, 114 S.W.3d 480 (Tenn. Sup. Ct. 2003).]
