Narrative

Employee was working on a blast pattern when he fell for no apparent reason. The supervisor recognized the signs of a stroke and quickly transported the employee to the mine first-aid station for further evaluation. The employee was later treated for a minor stroke at a hospital. We do not believe that the employee's work environment played a part in the onset of this illness.
