Narrative

EE was doing a PM on DBC-404 when the wind blew something behind EE's safety glasses and into EE's eye. EE was unable to flush it out because EE rubbed the eye before using eyewash. EE was sent to the eye Dr. who removed a foreign body with forceps, prescribed antibiotic eye drops and released EE to work.
