Puncture: Hollywood movie highlights sharps-related injury risk
Writers on the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Science Blog are using a movie release as an opportunity to remind the health care industry about NIOSH's Stop Sticks Campaign.
The film, "Puncture," is based on the true story of a nurse who contracts AIDS after an accidental stick. She contacts two personal injury lawyers, played by Chris Evans (of Captain America) and Mark Kassen, who base their case around a safety device that could have prevented the nurse's injury.
