Should i go to see my regular doctor with a work related injury if i saw the companies physician and was treated?

I was pricked by someones diabetic needle cleaning at my job and im freaking out about waiting for a week for the test results. They did give me a Tetanus shot and drew some blood to check for any diseases and the companies physician said to come back for a followup. I was pricked, but it didnt break the skin, but im still freaking out because im so afraid i caught something

Unless your regular doctor has a blood lab in his office, he probably can't get any results any faster. If your skin wasn't broken, it is likely that even if the needle was contaminated, you were not.

You were not injured. The skin was not broken, you were touched, good grief call an ambulance.

If it didn't break the skin you have no reason to worry. None. 0 Notta

Pricked doesn't mean 'injected'. You were treated for bacteria. AND it didn't even break the skin, going to the doctor for this was overkill.
