NURSES want patients who are intent on harming themselves to be provided with clean blades so that they can cut themselves more safely...Posted by Dr. Frank at February 6, 2006 07:11 AM | TrackBackThis could include giving the “self-harm” patients sterile blades and clean packets of bandages or ensuring that they keep their own blades clean. Nurses would also give patients advice about which parts of the body it is safer to cut.
Is there really a need for this? Are there a lot of cases of people getting infections from self inflicted wounds? I didn't think "cutters" shared blades like druggies share needles, but maybe I'm wrong.
I guess I do see the point in fresh bandages though.

Its like these jerks who want to legalise weed, a hippie uprising would lead to a junkie uprising and soon I could buy black tar with my bread and milk. Laws are made in our best interests...
Liberty man, its a ridiculous thing.
