## Narrative

A sample probe became plugged with corn. Two employees began unclogging the corn in the probe. One of them went outside to the probe, then directed the other to open and close the probe, releasing the clogged corn. When most of the clogged debris had fallen out, she inserted her right index finger into one of the openings on the probe. The probe was turned on again and shut on her right index finger, causing a partial amputation.
