Post: Dental Asst. and Hepatitis C Virus

Posted by Liz on 6/07/07
I worked for a dentist as a dental assistant and was never trained on what precautions should be taking when you handle needles or dental instruments. I was pricked by a dental instrument by the dentist by accident and he never told me to get tested for hep C. I hurt my neck at work and they wanted to do surgery my blood type is O neg. so I decided to donate my own blood for the surgery that was when I found out I had Hepatitis C. PLEASE DONT EVER WORK FOR A DENTIST UNLESS YOU ARE CERTIFIED AND KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU!!!!!
