## Narrative

He was carrying door jams and went to set them on the ground, they slipped off his shoulder, and he tried to catch them and the edge of the metal sliced his right thumb open. EE then went straight up to upper camp and had the onsite medic prep his thumb. The medic called Delta Junction's medical center and told them EE was on his way.
