Narrative

Employee was walking back to his drill when he slipped on a patch of ice and fell down on his left elbow, jamming his arm up into his shoulder. He initially thought he would be OK. He was seen by an Orthopedic Surgeon in May and diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff. He had surgery on May 25 to repair the tear and began losing time from work on that day.
