Yesterday morning I separated my shoulder and had to go to an ER urgent care. When the RN put the IV needle in my hand I noticed there was a spot of blood, which looked dry, on the table. I was in severe pain otherwise I would’ve said something, but I’m just concerned that maybe she touched that before giving me the IV or a needle was reused since they didn’t even clean up the blood
She did need to use a second needle because the first iv didn’t stick, but I’m concerned about the blood/possibly dried blood and what other risks I might’ve been exposed to
