You are a general inside laborer. You and Douglas Tackett are shoveling loose coal onto the belt. While pitching a load, Douglas catches the tip of his shovel on the moving belt. Douglas' arm is thrown up and back as he is spun around and the shovel is flung down the entry. Douglas swears and holds his right shoulder with his left hand. His shoulder looks deformed and he says it hurts. You must decide what to do.
This exercise is very similar to the Belt Line Problem exercise.
