## Narrative

While installing a roof bolt, a spur on the bolt caught the EE's glove as he started his rotation causing his thumb to twist. He finished his shift and worked the next 8 shifts before consulting a doctor. He told his foreman that he was fine and did not require attention. On 5/2/11 he informed us that he had consulted a doctor.
