Narrative

EE had been working outside throughout the day and had a call out at night as well. The weather was sub zero with a sever wind chill. EE woke up on 2/1/2011 with pain on ears. EE was diagnosed with frostbite, which is a disorder due to a physical agent, thus constituting MSHA reportability as it is a medical treatment.
