Narrative

The EE was attempting to get an air slide flowing at the truck load out. As EE was in process of opening a door to check for flow, material spewed out and got in both of EE's eyes. EE went home on EE's own accord a bit later. Once home, EE talked to EE's wife, and decided to go to the Doctor, where EE was prescribed pain medication.
