Yenta -“i’m not convinced on the dirty needle. i would think if this was a drug thing/dirty needle, why is it by the thigh/hip? if he was trying to use drugs, he would need to be near a vein.”
I changed the scenario a little bit. He isn’t a drug abuser, but he was attacked with a dirty needle. Reread my post.
Sometimes when something weird happens you have to think of weird scenarios that coulda caused it. I think my explanation is very plausable. A regular wound from a cut or scrape and this was the underlying reason should be able to be seen upon exam. The case doesn’t point to this.
