A Rhode Island doctor was reprimanded for a child's needle stick injury due to unsafe sharps disposal.
Dr. Leena Davis, a Rhode Island doctor, has been reprimanded after a toddler suffered a needle stick injury from a used syringe found in an unsecured sharps container in her office.
The Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline found she failed to secure the container and did not follow required post-exposure testing protocols.
As part of the penalty, she must pay $1,100, complete an infectious diseases course, and create a new policy for safe medical waste disposal in exam rooms.
The incident underscores ongoing concerns about sharps safety in clinical environments.
