In what circumstances have medical staff treated a patient for tetanus?

In the case at bar, a physician's assistant treated the victim at the hospital with a tetanus shot and antibiotic ointment. The victim was not provided with painkillers or a prescription, and she did not receive any other treatment. The physician's assistant told the victim to stay home for a few days, because she was not mentally able to work with anybody at that time. The victim testified that the primary reason she stayed home for two days was that she worked in an infectious disease clinic and ... had an open wound on her face. However, she also testified that when she returned to work, her face was burning, and that the wound took several weeks to heal. Coupled with the evidence that the victim sustained a scratch to her face from her nose to her mouth area, and that, after the incident, she was bleeding and crying, was under a lot of pain, and had sustained black and blue marks, it can be inferred from this testimony that the victim was in pain for at least two days after the incident, and that the victim missed two days of work as a result of the incident (People v. Luster, 306 A.D.2d 293, 293, 761 N.Y.S.2d 671 [2003] ).
