"Prostate biopsy"

About: North Devon District Hospital / Urology

(as the patient),

As per title I had a biopsy done.

Somewhat undignified! Three nurses present all very good indeed . I fancy this biopsy was more painful than previous one (nov/Dec 2024) however could be my memory playing tricks on me at my great age!

I apologise for my swearing. I can sincerely say it was not directed at anyone. 

If I ever have to have another biopsy I give my word I will try my hardest to keep my mouth shut!

Well done to all three ladies .They all had their different but excellent qualities. 

Best bit a cup of tea afterwards!

Would also like to add : well done to the young lady who did the nitty gritty part of the biopsy. In my opinion quite a challenging thing to do. Not everybody would take it on.
