Narrative

A mechanic was filling a coal hauler trailer strut with grease when he lowered his dark glasses to better his vision. At that moment, the grease came out of the relief valve slightly spraying into his eyes. The local Physician prescribed the eye drops Tobramycin only as a preventative measurement against any infections.
