Dr. Parks,
No need to respond back. I spoke to my primary care doc.
Thank you
I guess I should just simply say that I did not get pricked with the needle. I know the needle touched the inside of the box bc I felt resistance,like the needle poked the box, "the jolt." I just was wondering if I am at any risk bc I know you are supposed to just drop the sharps into the container and not lower it into the container. I just was to afraid to do so due to the great difference in height of the box in respect to myself.
Dr. Parks,
The jolt that I am describing is the needle hitting the side of the sharp box. I did not feel a prick.
Hello,
Did you feel a prick from a needle...did this "jolt" represent a stick from a needle?
