Bone Marrow Biopsy
I had heard horror stories about the bone marrow biopsy. I had mine at Yale Hematology under care of Dr Naparidze and felt only pressure not pain. Lidocaine shot prior to it.
I recommend to not stress over this procedure, but try to get a nurse who specializes in bone marrow biopsy. They do exist. Yale is good also with placement of IV. They have a special team that only does IVs.
