Lessons That Stick in Your Mind
Learn from the mistakes of your colleagues--don't end up in the emergency room for an accidental needle stick!
We can all learn from the mistakes of our colleagues. Here is a sampling of explanations offered by health care providers who visited the emergency department for needle stick wounds:
"When I was closing the safety tip on an arterial blood gas needle, the needle flipped out of the syringe and landed on my finger."

"I was suturing and a nurse came in and asked me a question. When I looked away, I poked myself."
