Narrative

EE was installing a light over a pan feeder of new conveyer system. He twisted his right knee. This was originally considered first aid. After follow-up visit, it was determined that an MRI was needed. A small tear of the meniscus was detected and will possibly need arthoscopic surgery/ restricted duty.
