## Narrative

EE strained his right shoulder while pulling out a refractory plug on a holding vessel. Because the eye bolt was broken, he had to pull the plug out with a pair of channel locks & a pry bar, straining his shoulder. After showering with hot water his shoulder felt better, but the following morning, he felt stiffness & pain. On 11/2 the plant dr issued a prescription & restrictions.
