## Narrative

EE was checking on a cooler feeder that wasn't working properly. EE removed the covers from the feeder to troubleshoot. EE used his middle finger to feel if the lime was packed  behind the coil. While sweeping lime out EE felt a pop in the tip of his middle finger. When he pulled his hand out he noticed the tip of his finger was slightly bent and swollen.
