Not sure if Nurse used New Needle
I was at a clinic where I had to give a blood sample. The people taking the sample did not seem to know what they were doing. Tried with the usual needle but couldn't get blood out. Then used a cannula to get blood out but I did not see them opening a new packet to get the cannula out. I am a little worried if they have used a 'used' needle as they did not seem very professional. What should I do? I am worried about contracting some serious disease and there is nowhere to go and seek help.
