Narrative

EE was installing a water bottle on the water cooler when he felt a cramp in his right bicep. He later noticed that his bicep had a bulge in it. Surgery was performed and it was determined that EE had bone spurs that caused the tendon in the bicep to become frayed. Bone spurs are the result of long term work stresses. The EE did not receive medical care until 12/12/2007.
