Here it's a WISHA requirement _if_ the injury causes a loss of more then
three days of work. And I've already got a bad shoulder from an
unreported injury on the job in California, which I should have reported
but was talked out of it (young and foolish).
Just compared to Mike's reported injuries, I don't think my knee getting
banged compared...
