You would expect that an ER would be equipped to deal with the problem, but presumably you went elsewhere and had the needle removed.

Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
