Greasing plant conveyor when he stepped in a soft spot, causing his left toes to sink in the mud. He went to his doctor on 04/16/2010 and they said he had a hair line fracture, but no treatment was needed. When we found out we sent him to the company doctor on 4/20/2010. The company doctor said the same as his doctor and gave him a special boot to wear until it healed.
