Cargo Freight Mishap
Jason Smith is a 28 year old cargo loader for Amazon. Today, he has to attend a mandatory OSHA meeting per the
company memo. He has two minutes to reach the tarmac before his shift begins and jogs to his duty station.
Jason enjoys his job because it keeps him fit but at times allows his mind to wander. Today, he is thinking of his
fifth anniversary which is just two weeks away. As he is busy thinking about his anniversary, the heavy crate slips,
driving him into a squatting position that injures his thigh muscles.
Jason is taken to the emergency room where Dr. Borra, the orthopedic specialist on call, performs a myorrhaphy
to treat his injury. After several days in the hospital, Jason is sent home with pain medication and orders for
physical therapy sessions.
