Narrative

The employee was removing the charger from a rubber tired three-wheeler and a wire got caught as he was lifting it. This caused his shoulder to pop and he realized he had hurt himself. He continued to repair and reinstall the charger and called a co-worker to bring him out when he was finished. He went to the hospital where he was referred to a specialist, who put him off work.
