Narrative

EE was walking out of the maintenance shop in the dark & fell on a patch of ice covered from overnight snow. EE landed on EE's left side & arm. EE declined medical attention at the time. EE had a doctor's appointment for a physical on 12/29/2015. During the physical an x-ray found one of EE's ribs was fractured, thus the reason this report wasn't filed at the time of the incident.
