Narrative

Recovering high voltage cable from 4E #2 left entry between 2 and 3 block. When EE unhooked the cable hanger, the hanger straightened from the weight of cable and drove the closure hook into EE's right index finger, palm side, between the 2nd and 3rd joint, resulting in a puncture/avulsion that required minor debridement and 3 sutures to close.
