## Narrative

On 04/30/2012, Injured Superintendent contacted me that he needs a MRI on Right Knee and he needs to report injury. I contested but Workmans comp will cover injury. Injured states he stepped on rock causing discomfort to knee. He didnt immediately report it thinking pain would stop. Orthopedic Dr. says he needs surgery for meniscus tear. At this time he has not lost any time.
