Dear Sir/Madam:
More information would be required to assess your situation. Did you tell the doctor that you could not opick up the keg or you were not prepared to do so? Are you required, as part of your job, to lift objects that weigh 160 lbs? Was this a physical that was part of your employment? If you were in the course and scope of your business, you may be able to make a work comp claim. Contact a worker's compensation lawyer and explain the facts to them. You may be able to make a worker's compensation claim which will pay your medical bills and loss of wages.
It is a difficult case against the doctor, because he didn't "make" you lift the keg. You could have informed him that you did not want to pick up the keg without notice, or that you just couldn't pick it up. Making a claim againsty the doctor will, in all likelihood, not be successful for you.
