Hello,
Recently, I went to undergo a blood test at a lab, which was very unhygienic.
Before my turn, I saw that the "Phlebotomist" was cleaning some blood spilled on the table (where samples were kept) with his bare hands. After that, he did not wash his hands and instead, cleaned his hands with a towel.
Thereafter, he asked me to sit and drew my blood with a fresh “syringe” without wearing any gloves. After that, he took some cotton and put a few drops of “alcohol” on the cotton and kept that cotton on my arm i.e., at the “blood draw site”. I’m worried – in case, if any un-cleaned blood on his hands comes into contact with the “blood draw site”.
Please help…….am I at risk.
Thanks in advance.
Venre
