Narrative

Employee was sealing a rail car when a wind gust blew dust into his right eye. Employee's eye was flushed at the plant but this did not relieve the pain. Employee was taken to a physician where his eye was reflushed, dialized, and a small particle was removed. Pain drops were administered to the eye and antibiotic cream was given to the employee to insert into his eye.
