Narrative

Two EE's were loading GT-60 drill steel from the ground onto a truck with a drill steel rack. The ground in the area was uneven and when they put it onto the truck, the drill steel dropped on EE's hand and smashed his knuckles. EE had pins inserted in that hand when he was 13 years old and stated the hand felt different, so we took him to the emergency room.
