Thanks to everyone for the replies and the concerns. I would not multi-reply so that it would not be a big post, I'll just summarize: First, as I have said, I've found disboards by googling and finding the following post (threads/worried-about-contamination-while-drawing-blood-please-help.3036951). I thought there were lot of helpful posts, so I wanted to here your opinion on similar matter.
I currently live in a small city in a developing country named Macedonia. I got high fever and was recommended to do blood work. Blood work results were ok (just for the record). The doctor said I got possibly viral infection due to strep throat. The only problem was how the blood work was done. She put belt above the vein to restrict blood flow, popped the plastic cap of a new syringe and inserted the needle without touching my vein. She got a bit off cotton, soaked alcohol on it and finally put it on top of my vein. Unfortunately, I saw the red stains of her gloves later and I did not see her changing gloves. I took a bath later when I came home. I reported the incident, there is still no response from them and I do not think that they will ever take it seriously since the healthcare currently has many other problems like MRSA appearing in some hospitals and also epidemics of measles (due to anti-vaxxers)
I see there are people giving advice ranging from "it's highly unlikely" to "go to ER". I would be happy if someone that worked in healthcare or someone with the proper education to give me advice.
