Caring nurse during bone marrow biopsy

"Caring nurse during bone marrow biopsy"

About: University Hospital Monklands / Clinical Haematology (Ward 16)

(as the patient),

I was given a boost by Nurse Jane in early August, she made me feel at ease and explained the procedure in depth prior to completing the biopsy, I felt relaxed and happy to have such a caring person helping me.

I suffer from a variety of health conditions including Fybromyalgia, I was terrified at the thought of this biopsy and scared that it would be a pain that was unbearable, I was blessed to have Jane as my nurse as she insured I was happy every step during the procedure, it’s not the nicest procedure to go through, I was happy and relaxed.

Jane ensured that the area was fully numb before carrying out the procedure , I coped well with the pain and the recovery time for me was 48 hours, I was back to work on the Friday after the biopsy being done on the Wednesday morning, I’m advising you all of this as those that may also have fibromyalgia will be able to gauge recovery time.

I cannot thank Jane enough, if only more people were as caring and efficient the world would be a better place, thanks again Jane you are one in a million.
