Narrative

Employee was stacking crib blocks. While doing so, he stepped on a broken concrete block, causing him to twist his right knee. This occurred on the last shift before summer vacation. While off, he went to a doctor and found out that he had a torn meniscus (right knee). He has been scheduled for surgery and should be able to return to work in a few weeks.
