## Narrative

Fire Boss bumped IE's head on a pipe; later in the shift began to experience vision issues, i.e. spots/floaters. IE had a broken blood vessel in the eye which in turn caused a torn retina. It appeared to be a result of the bump to IE's head. IE had laser surgery to repair the retina on 11-2. IE has unrelated existing retina pathology in other eye.
