Question:

An employee suffers a hand laceration on the job and refuses medical evaluation or first aid treatment. Weeks pass by and the employee reports that the wound is now infected and that it requires surgery. The employee still refuses treatment from the company and pays the surgery bill directly out of pocket. The employee will miss four days of work. Is it recordable?
