Narrative

IE was moving the portable crusher by remote control when a small piece of metal broke from an undercarriage roller and struck abdomen. IE transported to hospital where a 2nd piece of metal was found in abdomen from 20 yrs ago. Dr decided newer piece of metal could remain but recommended removal of older piece for fear of working into bowels. Dr removed metal, not sure which piece.
