needlestick

What a day... what a day.

I will add more tomorrow after some more thought and perhaps some time since this incident. Poor Annette. Hopefully everything will be ok. First times can be frustrating and nerve-racking, making you sweat right where you stand.
Spotlights, heat, eyes piercing your flesh in disgust as the needles pierces the glove, then the skin, only to draw blood.
So, I stuck someone today during surgery with a needle. Whoseever fault it was, so I was carrying the gun so to speak... and fired. Truly accidental, I am to blame. Luckily for Annette all of the bloodwork has come back negative on the patient at this point. However, she is 6.5 months pregnant and had to get some Rhogam. What trouble I caused. I was nervous enough excising the keloid and suturing up all on my own, let alone trying to finish up after that incident. After work, I called her to make sure she was ok... and she feels that she is to blame. How silly such thinking. She says she got in the way. How silly such thoughts. Well, an exciting day for the first day of this acting internship that I will not soon forget lest lessons aren't learned. I strive to not get to shaken by this and hopefully from now on things will smooth down and go better. One mistake can not weight on my mind to heavily... which would be how mistakes beget mistakes. So, I bid adeau and good night and try to rest my ever racing mind. There seems to be more fuel to the fire as the flame of thougth in my mind seeks water to be quenched.
