I was putting in a central line in a morbidly obese pt. and I needed an assistant to pull back the excess skin on his neck. I was about to make a nick on the pt 's skin with a scalpel. Unfortunately my assistant moved and my R hand moved with the knife in it and I poked my left index finger with it
