Narrative

Employee was loading prills on the blasting truck. A bag shifted under his foot. He realized he was going to fall so he jumped from the truck bed to the ground. He hurt his right knee. Did not want to go to the doctor and keep on working. The next morning his knee was swollen but he still would not go the the doctor. He said it was all right.
