needlestick

Just stuck myself while suturing in the operating room. Moved to adjust my needle and then poked my left hand.  I didn't say anything for a moment because it had not sunk in.  I also was not double gloved because I had just removed my top glove because it was contaminated.

I didn't think I had actually poked myself because I did not feel anything, but now I think I may have.  Patient status unknown....

Sigh.  Might have to go on prophylaxis....
