Narrative

On July 9, 2015, an employee was providing paramedic services at the home of a patient. While attempting to lift the patient from the floor of a chicken coop, he slipped and fell on his posterior. He got up and continued working. Later, he reported increasing pain and bruising from his fall to his employer. He went to the emergency room and was admitted to the hospital for vitamin K therapy to control muscular bleeding.
