I needed a photo of a needle stick injury for a job on Hepatitis.

I would not stab anyone else, so I stabbed and photographed my finger own with a sterile needle.

The only problem came in explaining to the blood bank when they asked "Have you ever had a needle stick injury?"


After I started to explain they told me "Just shut up, we don't want to know OK!"

Doug - ouch.
And to think, diabetics have to do this to themselves often a few times a day!

Next time i put a hook through a finger or a hand.. im coming to visit you Dug for photos.. just to save you the trouble of doing it to urself when someone wants a photo of a hook in someones hand

I shrug when i check my sugar levels as well all the time. I was having 5 needles a week for the last year and a 1/2 and i still hate them so very much. But good pic, plain and simple.

Gee Dug you should have spoken up earlier My wife is a phlebotomist and is always jabbing herself.

Thanks Dug. I just fainted

I just learnt a new word, thanks!

Anyone know how to get a photo off an Imate Jam smartphone? My wife took some shots of my 12yr-old's finger after she'd put a sewing machine needle (with thread) through it in home economics class recently. Took the ambos 45 minutes to detach the needle from the machine and get Emily off to hospital.

Come to think of it...the photos were a little out of focus - wife and daughter were a bit shaky!

Finger survived with no major damage but she only scored an A- for the pillowcase she was sewing at the time. Must have lost marks for blood stains and screaming.

Connect the phone to your PC, navigate to the phone via windows explorer, locate the image, copy to PC - easy

And for the time challenged here's the wikipedia entry on phlebotomist

Thanks Peter - I've not done anything with it regarding the PC connection but I suspected it was as easy as that. Now I just have to wait for the Imate and its owner to come back from NZ on Sunday...

I used to have a injection every few days for a year I got to hate the feel of the steel.

I have no idea why people get tattoos or piercings.

If I want a new body piercing I go and work in the shed for a couple of hours
I usually manage to impale myself on something sharp.
