Narrative

EE was lifting heavy metal plates from a hammer-mill in a constricted location. This caused the lifting to be awkward and in various positions. Trauma was done to the trunk of the body, most likely resulting in a hernia. The doctor has not yet been consulted and no time has been missed as of this point; on self imposed lite duty restriction.
