EE was sweeping gravel into a shovel held by a co-worker. When the shovel became full, co-worker lifted it up hitting EE's right hand. The shovel struck EE's middle finger causing laceration. The co-worker, a certified EMT, cleaned, applied antibiotic ointment, & bandaged the wound. EE reported this 3 months later & wanted to have it looked at by a doctor.
