"Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy"

About: University Hospital Monklands / Day Surgery

(as the patient),

Before the examination I was a nervous wreck, until specialist nurse Jane put me at complete ease.. I am 72 years of age and was worried sick of this biopsy.

I never felt a thing during operation it was so easy, I would strongly recommend anyone who has been called for this exam not to worry one little bit, If I can do anyone can.

Thanks once again Jane you are one in a million x
