A fourth-year medical student at Wake Forest University in North Carolina posted online that she intentionally stuck a patient with a needle twice during a blood draw after he disparaged her use of specific pronouns.

Kychelle Del Rosario vented about the incident in a now-deleted tweet in which she said, “I had a patient I was doing a blood draw on see my pronoun pin and loudly laugh to the staff, ‘She/Her? Well of course it is! What other pronouns even are there? It?’ I missed his vein so he had to get stuck twice.”
