I went to a lab yesterday where I had blood drawn for a blood test. The nurse took a needle from the drawer, uncapped it then attached it to a tube and drew my blood. Then she recapped the needle, and threw it in the disposer and labelled the blood tube.
My question is, does it happen that sometimes the nurse may forget and by mistake recap the needle and put it in the drawer with the new needles and then reuse it again by mistake? Or will it show that the needle has been used before when she attempts to use it again (due to blood stains and other things)?
