What happened
I do not recall a specific moment but exited my first surgery of the day to note a small what appeared to be scratch on the back of my right middle finger. I didn 't think anything of it so I did not check my 2 pairs of gloves specifically to see if they were penetrated. As I do not know when it occurred there were not witnesses and I am unsure if the suture re-entered the patient 's skin following contact. Later when I went home the injury began to feel deeper like a puncture wound which lead to my desire to report it as a possible needle stick.
