Narrative

A repairman was hammering a pin punch with a 20 Oz hammer to drive out a pin. The hammer glanced off the punch and traveled down and hit his thumb. The thumb sustained an open fracture on the tip of the thumb and a laceration of the nail bed. He returned to modified work with the use of his right hand only.
