## Narrative

EE was using a cold steel wedge to plit/break a quarry block.  When EE struck the wedge, a piece of metal from the wedge struck the EE in the  forearm causing a muscle laceration and lodging in the top of the EE's forearm.  This required minor surgery to be required to remove the metal and repair the damage to the muscle.
