Narrative

EE was moving a ladder stand when the eliminator fell and he tried to catch it. The eliminator hit his right middle finger & smashed it between the eliminator and the stand. His finger was x-ray'd at the local hospital and revealed a fracture and was given pain medication (non-prescription). He returned to work with no restrictions the same day.
