Narrative

Employee was diagnosed with a hernia when he saw a doctor for a physical checkup. His new-employee physical from 9/18/13 did not diagnose the hernia. After interviewing him, he said that he felt a pull in the groin area while moving a pallet on 11/25/13. He did not report the incident prior to his diagnosis. We assume this is the date of his injury.
