Narrative

The EE was helping the mechanic put a pin in the track of a track hoe. EE swung the sledge hammer and did not hit the pin flush, so a piece of the pin chipped off and hit the EE in the left leg. The EE was taken to the doctor and the piece of metal was removed. No stitches were required, but the doctor put the EE on prescription Medication.
