Narrative

Miner was welding. He did not get his hood down quick enough and got weld flash in his eyes. It did not bother him until some time later. He went to the emergency room and the doctor gave him eye drops with gentamicin sulfate. The ER doctor told him to see an eye doctor. At 9 am he saw the eye doctor who stated that there was nothing wrong with him.
