Just handed in a sharps box for disposal. Receptionist refused to take it, backing away as if I was HIV +ve!! In a loud voice "I will have to get a nurse to take that!"
Nurse came out and took the sharps box but gave me a look like I was dirt.
I AM NOT ON ILLEGAL DRUGS!!! I am prescribed EpiPens for a serious allergy that could be life threatening. The sharps box is for the expired EpiPens, and the only way to safely dispose of them.
Do not think everyone with a sharps box is on illegal drugs, HIV +ve, or a hazard to your health!! I have never ever felt so humiliated in my life!!!!!!
Disgusting attitude from reception staff.
