Narrative

EE was transceting (surveying) land on the Tonto National Forest - adjacent to the Pinto Valley Mine. Even though he was wearing protective eyewear, a branch from a mesquite tree scratched his cornea on his left eye. EE was seen by Dr in Globe, AZ. He was given Vigamox drops and was told to see a doctor on Thursday, 8/30/07.
