Time for a nuclear grade tanty @allyjay If you want to be sedated, they can bloody sedate you. This 'bit of pressure and a sharp scratch' shit has to stop. I'd rather someone told me it was going to hurt like fuck when it is going to feel like someone is driving a star picket into my body. It's nauseating and patronizing to be told lies and all it does is develop a level of mistrust which makes everything else so much harder.
Good luck, and stick to your guns. It's your well being vs their monster ego and when the gloves come off they seem quite shocked that 'the patient' has both an opinion and a right to control some aspects of their treatment. Mxx
