Query on pathology
I attended a pathology appointment for a routine blood test, where the assigned nurse utilized the same gloves without changing them, proceeding to prick my vein to collect blood. Subsequently, after removing the needle, the nurse made contact with my wound to halt bleeding. I am now concerned about the potential risk of infection from viruses or bacteria, including HIV.
