Narrative

The worker and a coworker were unloading an empty plastic tote from a pickup truck. Doing that, the worker felt a pull in left biceps. The worker got first aid and continued working thinking that was a simple contraction due to cold weather. The worker was still in discomfort and after an MRI scan, EE was diagnosed with a disruption of the distal bicep on 2/9/24, requiring surgery.
