## Narrative

Removing wing shroud on Letourneau L1850 and a small metal fragment broke off and struck him in the neck.  This was originally classified as 1st aid because the doctor said leave it in it will heal fine and put a band aid on it. We encouraged the employee to seek a second opinion, he did and the metal was removed February 4, 2016, elevating the incident to a lost time injury.
