Narrative

A maintenance employee was re-installing a transmission in a jeep. The transmission was placed on a hydraulic lift jack and as the employee was moving the transmission into position he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. At this time, it appears that the employee may have a torn rotator cuff although the MRI results will not be read until September 24th.
