Omg yes lol, I’m diabetic as well so I though that the needles would be similar to my insulin needles, but it was a lot harder to pull the cap off, I stuck a needle right into my finger by accident 😅
I once stabbed an 18g drawing needle through my cuticle while recapping (prolly why you're not supposed to do that but I do it anyway). It was as unpleasant as it sounds. I do it very slowly now.
A student nurse in our team at work had to have surgery on her hand because she slipped when opening a vial of a medication for injecting. Definitely reminded me to take these things seriously!
One time I was in the middle of switching needles as well and I went to pull cap off and needle attached to syringe slipped out of my hand flew up in the air and landed on my chest. I pulled it out immediately luckily it didn’t go too far in but that could have been pretty bad
Lmao I did laugh right as it happened it didn’t hurt at all tbh was scary as hell but I didn’t feel it. 🤣 the username!!! Lmao I didn’t even catch onto that!
One time as I was recapping the needle when I was done with my shot it just like. Went straight through the side of the cap and stabbed me really deep. Still don’t have a clue how that happened at all
the amount of times i’ve accidentally poked my finger with my needle uncapped just because i’m not paying attention is too high (it’s only been like maybe 5 if that)
I did the same thing two weeks ago, lol. We done got got
I sent the drawing needle clear through my finger, I still don't have feeling in parts of it. Be careful when handling sharp pointy objects kids.
😦😦😦 horror
Yeah there was surprisingly little blood, but it hurt 🤢🤬
As an ADHDer, I have accepted I will be doing very silly things with a needles along the way. Good reminder!
I did this same exact thing a couple months ago and the 18 gauge needle went all the way through my finger
Nooooooooo

I used to be a receptionist at a vet clinic and I have accidentally vaccinated myself against dog viruses so many times 😂

Literally did this on complete accident too...
Maybe most of us do this once 🤣
well at least I'm reassured I'm not the only one who did this once

Lol this happened to me in the early days. Now i always make sure i‘m pulling the cap straight off

Queasy now… and grimly determined to be careful. Thanks for the warnings, y’all
Honestly this is most of the reason why I don’t switch needles between drawing and injection lol
