Narrative

EE lifted a 15 lb garbage can to mop and felt a pull in his stomach. He was seen at a local doctor and given a full release he later went to another doctor who gave him an off work slip for a hernia. Montana State Fund questioned this claim and sent it to for independent review. This claim was accepted by MSF Sept. 6, 2013. The EE will have hernia surgery later this month.
