Here's a scary bit of information I just came across ...

Based on a recent survey by experts at Johns Hopkins and Georgetown University, 99 percent (yes, that's 99 percent) of surgeons in training inadvertently stick themselves with needles and other sharp instruments an average of 8 times in their first five years. Considering that it is very possible that these skin-piercing items could potentially spread such dangerous infections as hepatitis and HIV, it's a good thing these doctors are reporting these incidents. Guess again.

It turns out that many of these same doctors admitted in the survey that they were oftentimes too busy to file a report, leaving these incidents unrecorded.
