Bd. of Trustees of the New York City Fire Dept., 90 NY2d 139, 145, 681 N.E.2d 382, 659 N.Y.S.2d 215 (1997), the Court of Appeals found that a report by a single medical expert, who never examined the applicant, was sufficient credible evidence to permit the Board to discount other expert opinions provided by treating physicians, because the report contained "an articulated, rational, and fact-based medical opinion."
