Narrative

Employee saw an on-site medic at the start of 8/7/07 night shift for back pain sustained while climbing a ladder on the previous night shift. He missed 3 shifts later in August that were not originally associated with this incident. On 10/10/07, the company was notified that a physician determined the missed shifts were for a lumbar strain that occurred while climbing the ladder.
