Dried blood

[yeezimiller]

Have you ever touch a side rail and saw dried blood or touch a counter and saw dried blood? Do you panic? Or just simply sanitize or wash your hands. What's the chances of transmitted infection if the blood is a few hours old

You really need to get a grip. Did you think you were going to catch pancreatitis ?

OP - do you think that pancreatitis is communicable?

Now this patient came in for elevated blood sugar but she's also has a history of pancreatitis. I guess that's what worried me more.i don't think I touched the dried blood but it made me a little nervous

When did pancreatitis start becoming both contagious and blood borne?

Can't pancreatitis be linked to hepatitis especially if they're alcoholics?

You need to get a grip. I strongly recommend a new profession.

Diabetes and pancreatitis aren't living on bed rails waiting to attack you.

Well when you make post after post about how afraid you are to get stuck by a needle/get blood on you/etc, & get a disease. It gets old.
