Larry is a CST working in the general surgery unit of an urban OR. He and Dr. Hobart are finishing a case where a known IV drug user suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen. While Larry was counting instruments with the circulator, Dr. Hobart tossed a loaded needed holder back onto the Mayo stand without informing Larry. As he turned around, the bloody needle penetrated Larry’s single glove and punctured his skin.
