Oh @flaneuse - 15 biopsies!? That makes me cringe. I had 3 taken and the anaesthetic hadn't worked on one area (not unusual for me) - it was excruciating and they just about had to peel me off the ceiling. The doctor or whoever it was, was a total dick though. He bustled into the US room and told me really abruptly that I had to have this procedure (no gentle explanation or introduction). Then acted as if I was overreacting to the noise of the gun - I'm not sure that he even believed that the anaesthetic hadn't worked in one spot - he certainly wasn't in the slightest bit interested. The other staff did, though. I have to say that he was the only person at Breastscreen (both locations I went to) who wasn't nice.
