Many medical residents don't report needlesticks
Researchers who interviewed 699 surgery residents at 17 medical centers found 59% had experienced at least one needlestick but many failed to report it to hospital officials, which means they didn't have a chance to get treatment to prevent HIV or hepatitis C infection.

The report was published in Academic Medicine.  U.S. News & World Report/HealthDay News (11/30)
