Before the incident
Shutting a shift door
What happened
I was shutting a shift door that is hard to close and I thought the bear was coming back so I stopped. When I went to start to close it again my finger got smashed between the door handle and the metal piece that sticks out to put the lock through. It left a dent in my finger and it did swell and turn blue. I did ice it right afterwards. It is still painful and has some swelling and discoloration.
