Narrative

Employee was lifting a meg welding box (approximately 40 lbs) when he strained his right shoulder. Since this was his first shift of a new rotation, there were no witnesses and this is deer hunting season, the company waited to receive the diagnostic report (MRI) performed on 11/18/2008. The report was received today (11/20/2008).
