Will there be chances of getting infected due to a pin inserted into arm?
Patient: Yesterday I was drinking alcohol and I got involved with sum friends that were shooting drugs and so I join in and it wasn't my first time. Here as I was pulling out the needle the entire  tip came off and its still in my arm I was so scared that I didn't go in yet to get it out. Is it serious and can I die if  it isn't removed? Doctor: yes this can cause infection better go to a surgeon get it removed followed by a course of antibiotics.
