Narrative

EE was using a battery hand grinder. The tool slipped and when grabbing, EE hit the trigger. This caused the grinder to flip around. The spinning grinding wheel cut the back of EE's left hand, causing a laceration that required 9 stitches. It also chipped a finger bone & ligament. EE was referred to an Orthopedic Doctor.
