Narrative

EE was hitting a stuck drill head hammer with a pin hammer and a brass hammer. A piece of the drill head hammer metal fractured off, and entered EE's left leg on EE's inner thigh between EE's knee and groin. Doctor's wanted to wait a few days before performing the removal of the metal, in order to have a good OR room for the removal.
