Narrative

EE was spotting slow moving railcars with PPE on when he stumbled and fell on top of a car onto his right shoulder and back. He did not file an accident report until now, having worked for many weeks with pain in the right shoulder. Recent diagnostics on 09/30/2013 reveal a torn cartilage that will soon require surgery. No time has been lost as yet.
