Narrative

While pulling a 20' long 2""x2""x1/4"" stick of angle iron off a rack, the employee felt pain in their left elbow. The employee worked the rest of their shift, but then went to a local clinic on their own accord the following day for an evaluation without informing the company. This evaluation resulted in lost workdays.
