reusing syringes/needles?
Would you?
Well they would..and didVVVV
A few guys employed in the medcial field recently got busted reusing needles/syringes (it was 2 or 3 in different areas in the U.S.)
I can remember some of the details about 2 of the stories.
1 was a highly reputable doctor.
reused needles/syringes on thousands of patients over the years spreading multiple diseases including hepatitis b/c
And aids..so a highly successful doctor probably pulling in 6 or 7 figures. But couldn't spend an extra
200-400$ a year for needles/syringes..now facing crimminal charges. He'll probably get a long prison bid. .. and I hope he rots in that shithole prison
For his carelessness and disregard for the clients who gave him their trust .
The other miserable piece of shit who is hepatitis c positive I don't remember his exact occupation in the medical field but he did have access to the needles that were
Injected to patients or he administered them. So the guy would jab himself with the needles a while before
The patients got injected. So thousands of people were infected in multiple states in the U.S..
Its sad that anybody let alone someone in a highly trusted career would do some scumbag shit like this.
So back to the first thing I asked in the thread"would you"..I actually have reused needles on myself a few times..but not after they sit around. For example if I only have a 3ml syringe and want to inject more than 3ml of prop in one sitting I would just redraw
Resteralize a seperate inection site and pin then the syringe/needle are trashed. Never had and infection so it works for me.

Supernova283Now did they just reuse the needles unsterilized? Because not much harm in reusing sterile needles. They used to do it all the time. Use, sterilize, sharpen, reuse. I mean it's still illegal and they should follow the law, but it's not like it can cause harm to the patients.
Obviously the guy who infected a bunch of people with Hep C was a piece of shit, but reusing needles is honestly the way we should be doing it. That's how they used to do it, and if you've seen the amount of medical waste that comes out of a hospital in a single day you might think twice.
CleyonIt used to be much more expensive to buy syringes, and needles. These days technology allows us to produce them so cheaply that it doesn't make much sense. Also there are specialized companies that do medical waste disposal. Those syringes and needles aren't being put in a landfill, they are seperated, and recycled into other products.
Supernova283Oh well if they're being recycled that's okay. My concern isn't monetary, but rather that iron is becoming scarcer and scarcer. We use it up like it's a renewable resource, but steel prices have gone up tremendously in the past 10 years.
If they're being recycled somehow that's better.
CleyonI won't go into the way the price of steel going up is due to the increase in import tarrifs that we put in place during the Clinton years to protect the US steel industry, but there are obviously multiple parts to this puzzle.
Also, I read an article a while back about sterilization units and their effects on the metalurgy of needles, and other metal objects that made me think having them useed/trashes/recycled was a much better idea. I'll see of I can find it.
All these smart people with PHD's are going insane causing harm to the people, just like the idiot that was responsible for the movie massacre. I'm in the medical field and I always use fresh needles. I've reused syringes on myself but never needles. On a few occasions I would use the same needle only to draw the oil out of the vial but never on myself
If i were one of those doctors patients I would put a bullet in both his knee caps then beat him to death with brass knuckle.
CleyonI have reused a needle ONCE! That time it was becuase I was all ready to inject, and realized I didn't have any needles left. So I went into my sharps container, pulled out what I needed, and used alcohol all over the stuff.
I wish I would have waited longer for the alcohol to evaporate, that stung like HELL!
Only reused if I've put it in a vien then found a new spot
I was shocked at how cheap these things are, I picked up 200 needles and syringes+alchohol prep pads for under 20 bucks!
In these cases it wasn't about the cost of new needles/syringes but it sounds like they intentionally wanted to spread diseases. Reusing on yourself isnt as big a deal in a short time frame but the needle will get duller and weaker and can break.
