I'm curious as to what to do if a syringe needle gets stuck in your body?

Pullit out: Normally there is a plastic hub on the top of the needle so if the needle came off the syringe just grab the hub pull out. If the needle broke off the hub have a needle nose plier grab the tip outside the skin and pull out. If the needle is in the skin and not visible go to ER
