## Narrative

When the flotation operator stepped down off of the concrete landing at the base of the stairs in the mill 5 flotation building basement, they felt a pop in the upper left calf area. The operator tried to take a few steps and apply some pressure to the left leg that they felt the pop from but continued to feel some discomfort. The operator then sat down and called for assistance.
