A short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video by Mike Andes describing an on-the-job injury: a general manager sliced his leg with hedge trimmers and is at the emergency room receiving stitches. The speakers discuss the injury location (near the kneecap), confirm the injury is not life-threatening, and describe operational follow-ups: retrieving a dump trailer, collecting tools left at a client’s yard, and taking them to storage; one speaker plans a coaching call from the vehicle.

I got a phone call from one of our general managers who sliced his leg open with a pair of hedge trimmers.
Trimming bushes. Cut his leg, bumped it off his knee, right on his kneecap, kind of like off a little bit to the side, I guess. Apparently, there's muscle over top of your kneecap in that area. Apparently.
But he's at the emergency room right now as we speak, getting stitches. So I am driving to the site, swing by in urgent care, checking on him, going to get the dump trailer, loading it up with all the tools because it's just laying in the client's yard, taking it to the storage unit. Meanwhile, I'm gonna do a coaching call here in 14 minutes from the car from the well truck because I had to pick up dump trailer and old tools.
Yeah, man.
But most importantly, nothing's serious past the point of just stitches, right? So they are gonna give him medicine and all that stuff, but overall, he was able to walk out of there, so that's a positive thing. Health is number one. That's the most important thing.
