EE walked through water puddles not realizing there was ice underneath. EE slipped. EE reported EE's knee hurt the next day and we sent EE to the doctor who released EE to full duty with follow up visit & therapy. Knee strain was the diagnosis. EE has always been released to full duty but was referred to an Ortho doctor who thinks EE needs to have EE's knee repaired.
