Workplace Hazards Beyond Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

“I got showered in blood,” J said to me on the phone earlier tonight.

He had been sitting at a desk, working at a computer in his hospital. At 11:20 a.m. the blood bank made a delivery. A nearby nurse handled a bag of the stuff. The bag, it seems, was faulty.

Suddenly, J hears, “Oh my god oh, my god,” and turned just in time to see a red shower of liquid burst forth like “water from a hose” over his white hospital coat, his pants and his shoes.

What, you ask, did the man do in such a horrifying situation?

He rolled. His. Eyes.

And then he said, “Please tell me that blood was clean.”
