Sharps Safety in the OR

 

Have you ever had a sharps injury... or more than one?

Felt unsupported when you reported the stick... or maybe you didn't report?

Used a blunt tip suture needle... or ever seen one used?

Wished your attendings took safety more seriously?

Resigned yourself to the risks of being a surgeon?

TIME OUT.  THIS FORUM IS FOR YOU!
