Last month when I was at my workplace, A co-worker dropped a screwdriver on top of my head! The guy was basically working on a rooftop AC appliance.
I was resting below with the ladder in my hand.
I wasn’t completely paying attention to everything that was going on, however neither was my coworker Jack. The guy tossed a screwdriver over the side of the roof & it landed directly on my head. Thank goodness it didn’t land in a way that impaled my body. It still will not hit me with a pretty huge side & I had a bump on my head for a number of days. After the accident, I started to experience some miserable headaches. I took a couple of Ibuprofen & Tylenol & attributed the headaches to getting hit in the head by a tool. I did not consider the injury to be life-threatening or drastic until the headaches became harsh. Three mornings after the accident, I was finally working on AC maintenance & I was alone. I was inside of a dwelling working on an AC appliance concern by myself, but my head started to ache severely & I closed my eyes. I must have passed out for a couple of hours. I woke up & I had no clue in the slightest how much time had passed. After that, I called my boss & I told the guy that I absolutely needed to go to the emergency room. I never filled out an accident report earlier that week or even mentioned the headaches to the guy, so he was relatively surprised… He made me fill out an accident report before we finally opted to go to the emergency room.
