【英语时差8,16】被针头扎到-上

Medical school is a bear. Med students have to endure long hours, little sleep, and tons of pressure.And, getting stuck by needles.According to one study, med students on track to become surgeons get stuck often. Of the nearly 700 med school graduates studied, more than eighty percent reported having been stuck by a needle at some point during their training. And nearly half didn’t bother to report the injury, or didn’t feel the need. Well, so what? Doctors in training handle a lot of needles, whether for giving shots or sewing up surgical¹ wounds.So maybe an occasional needle stick simply comes with the territory.Maybe, but it can also be dangerous.Getting stuck with a needle used on a patient with HIV or some other contagious² disease is obviously a problem.
