## Narrative

The employee and EE's crew were lifting and setting a landing and steps in place between the scale and the office. During the task, EE felt something in EE's abdominal area. EE went to the doctor, and they confirmed it is a hernia that will require surgery at some point. We don't have a date for surgery yet.
