Narrative

Employee was working in an awkward position in the Feed Shute, swinging a sledge hammer to dislodge a liner when EE felt a sharp, shooting pain in the right shoulder. EE did not report the injury right away as EE thought they were o.k., however EE ended up going to the doctor and started physical therapy on 1/24/2020.
