## Narrative

Ee ended day with small metal fragments in left eye. They didn't bother him & he didn't report this information at work. Irritation from the fragments started causing concern later that night & he went to the Calico Rock Hospital ER. This was going to be a 1 day lost time accident except he had a reaction to the medicine requiring a medicine change.
