Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Yes, at MDACC I would ask for (pronounced Rue- cell), Larry and . I think either Larry or has retired, but their worst there is better than most places. But you are right, some people need the sedation and no one can blame them for it. Also, you do have to wait a long time at MDACC is you ask for one person. At other locations, you can ask in advance and not have to wait as most places are not " first come, first served " .

Now they have nurse practioners doing it and I find they are all good. They used to have 3 people in the room, and after they prepared you, the N/P would come in and leave and you never saw them. Now there are only 2 in the room and the N/P stays the whole while. You are right, I can't see having a strong sedation for something that takes only a moment and then you are free to walk out and continue the rest of your appointments. Some people, however really need the sedation, as they have a hard time, and I would want something stronger than lidocane, if I was in a lot of pain. I've had about 44 BMA/BMB's over the years and had so many procedures on my back without lidocane, that I think I have a higher tolerance for pain. When it comes to a point where you can't stand the pain, then it's time to ask for help. As long as I have been going to MDACC, I have never heard anyone groan or scream. By the way, was the guy with the braids? I remember him as being very good, but when I returned, it would have been too long a wait. You have a long enough wait as it is, so I went with the next tech that was avail able. My next appt. is October 2. Is anyone else going to be there at that time? Let me know if you are.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 So while we are on the subject and I prepare for a Hurricane tomorrow, does anyone know who to ask for at Moffit Cancer Center. Do you have any names? Matt ville, FL In a message dated 8/20/2008 9:06:45 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, mtmaynor@... writes: Yes, at MDACC I would ask for (pronounced Rue- cell), Larry and .
