Reuse of needle
Last week i had a blood test from Dr Lal Path Labs and i'm not really sure whether the phlebotomist used a new needle. When asked later he said they use only new needles. Even though the lab was quite empty when i reached there i'm still worried since i didn't see him opening the syringe infront of me. What should i do?

Hello. How are you. Hope you are doing well. the needle once used cannot be reused as the blood coagulates so each time it's mandatory that they use a new needle
