Narrative

A miner was bolting when a piece of draw rock fell between the bolts and the rib hitting EE in the back and knocking EE into the controls. EE was taken to the ER where EE was x-rayed. No broken bones were found. EE later went to a PA that diagnosed EE with a ""closed fracture of the twelfth thoracic vertebra"". They put EE on ""restricted duty"".
