Narrative

Employee was docking the dredge for the winter when one of the winch cables got caught underneath the corner of the dredge. Lenny tried to pull the cable free when he strained his shoulder. He didn't think anything of it until weeks later when the pain continued. He went to the doctor on 11-9-2012 and at that point was restricted from work.
