The medical center's records show that Anderson suffered a metacarpal fracture, a shoulder contusion, and an acute
cervical strain. The records state that he “sustained neck injury, contusion, pain with movement, tenderness, LEFT SHOULDER AND RIGHT WRIST,” and that he had an “injury or acute deformity” and “pain with movement, stiffness, tenderness” in his neck and an “injury or acute deformity, abrasion, contusion, pain” in his “MS/extremity.” The records also note that he had an abrasion and contusion on his right wrist. The medical personnel diagnosed Anderson with “abrasion, closed
head injury, contusion, fracture, laceration,
multiple trauma, sprain, strain,” and that he suffered a
neck sprain. Anderson's head was, however, “normal.” Additionally, the records indicate that Anderson suffered from mild
degenerative disc disease in his back and an arthritic joint in his neck. The records note that “[a]t worst the symptoms were severe, earlier today, in the emergency department the symptoms were unchanged.” A splint was put on Anderson's right arm.
