Before the incident

Drawing blood

What happened

I went to draw a patient in the ER after a patient sample came back clotted. I opened a butterfly needle but did not have the correct attachment. I engaged the safety on the needle and set it beside me. I opened another butterfly needle and successfully drew the patient. I engaged the safety on that needle as well. When I went to throw both needles away I was stuck by one. One of them had popped out slightly then back in. I do not know which needle it was.
