sure have- only one part of the needle snapped off and couldn't be found and what was in my finger was the thread but that was so imbedded in the finger I couldn't tug it out. so a friend came and took me to the hospital for the usual tetnus shot but also for an x ray. remember the other end of the needle was missing. the xray showed NO needle and they put a block in my hand so they could remove that embedded thread. days later I found the missing part of the needle in the top of the waste basket. did I feel foolish or what ! ! !
