Narrative

Employee was cleaning out the loader bucket with a scraper. EE jarred right shoulder, but did not seek any treatment until December 1. EE went to a clinic, and they suggested physical therapy, which helped. EE still had pain, so EE got an x-ray and MRI. It was then discovered EE a had a torn rotator cuff. EE is scheduled to see an ortho surgeon for further evaluation.
