Narrative

On Saturday, 12/5/15, EE complained of pain to his right hand and swelling. He was unsure as to cause. The doctors found metal in his hand on 12/13/15 from where he had cleaned out hydraulic tank on 12/4/15, which caused infection and hospitalization, thereby making it a reportable accident. Until 12/13/15, the doctors thought it could be a spider bite or boil under the skin.
