Narrative

A Miner was blowing out a hole drilled, when drill cuttings passed beneath his safety glasses and entered his left eye. His eye was irrigated in the shaft. 1-hour later it was washed out again, and 2-hours later washed out a third time. At 11:00AM he was taken to hospital and it was washed out again. The doctor gave him a prescription for eye drops.
