## Narrative

IE was welding in a haul truck bed installing new bed liners. EE sustained corneal flash burn because the digital welding shield's batteries died, which went unnoticed until the next morning when EE woke up in pain. EE's wife took EE to the emergency room, where EE was prescribed Cortisporin ophthalmic drops and released after receiving medical treatment beyond first aid.
