This has caused my great disturbance because I had once had a growth removed by that doctor about 5 years ago and of course, my wound was closed with a suture needle. However, I cannot be sure if his suture needle was straight out its wrappings or a 'recycled' one. I felt like marching into his office and asking for an explanation, but all I know is, if he is indeed re-using a recycled needle, he would surely deny it. Unfortunately, I do not have enough information to determine what your doctor's practices are. People do not like to be confronted, especially a trained professional.
Confrontation encourages defensiveness.
