Narrative

A concentrator employee was walking up the stairs, hit his toe on the first step and twisted his foot sideways. He had some swelling and pain but did not go the doctor. Later that evening the pain and swelling became more intense. He went to the clinic, had x-rays taken. Nothing broken but he does have a sprained ankle and will be on crutches and out at least a week.
