Short YouTube interview clip where a patient describes being fearful of needles before a bone marrow extraction but reports the procedure was not painful. The clinician explained steps and used local anaesthesia; the patient felt minor, non-painful sensations which were managed when reported, and was surprised that bone marrow extraction felt easier than prior injections.
What kind of concerns did you have prior to the procedure?
I was scared because I am a person that doesn't like needles. And when they said that they had to do the bone marrow, I was scared. I was like, your palms are wet scared. But that procedure was not bad. I did not hurt. She explained everything thorough to me and that she deadened everything. I did not hurt. I could feel that she was doing stuff when she was taking the marrow out, she would say, tell me if you feel anything. And a few times I'd feel a little. Not pain pain, but a little uncomfortable. And I would tell her, she would just slow down. No pain after that. It worked. It worked well. I'll tell you that bone marrow was easier than the injections, and I was shocked.
