What is the worst/most interesting injury you PERSONALLY have gotten while on the job? My kitten latched his claws to a poor vet tech who didn't even blink about it, I have to figure the average vet sees a lot worse than kitten claws haha

Most of my in-clinic injuries are just the standard scratches with occasional minor bites. I can't say I've been seriously injured by an animal on the job... yet. I’ve had a needle stick that required some antibiotics... also I did an internship on a warmblood breeding farm and one of my jobs was to show the horses in-hand, and one of them spooked and (accidentally) stepped on my foot while we were (purposely) sprinting around the arena. I didn't break anything, but my foot did swell up massively and stayed that way for months, and I still have nerve damage. Got some pretty fun photos of that one if anyone is interested!
Sueanoi here,
Honestly I get hurt by trying to break open an ampule of medication more often than by the patient’s protest.
But for your “interesting” part of the question. I got scratched by a very sick cat during an epidemic of rabies. I looked like I fought the Wolverine from X-men. I got booster vaccinated immediately at an ER. That would be my 8th rabies shot. (I currently have 10 shots already.)
