Narrative

Injured employee got dust in the left eye while cleaning under the clinker cooler drag. Irrigated the eye at work and thought a shower later that night would take care of any remaining irritation. The next day the eye was still bothering them, so they decided to go to an eye doctor. The eye doctor prescribed ointment and it felt better later that day.
