Mike has had several biopsies. The first several were without sedation done in the doctor's office. The last few have been with sedation in the clinic. There is an anesthesiologist administering the sedation and monitoring the vitals. After Mike had a sedated BMB, he has never had another one without it and says he never will. He said he never feels a thing or remembers anything about it. Why put yourself though it if you don't have to. You do have to let them know ahead of time and you need a driver to get home - their rule - which I am sure is for your protection as well as theirs.

My question to others who have had this, how many have your spouse or significant other present during the biopsy? Has the clinic ever denied them being there? I have been present for all of Mike's. Only one doctor didn't really want me to be because the room was very small and I had to kneel in the corner of the room at his head. She wanted me to guarantee her that I would not pass out because there wasn't room or time to "deal" with me.
