Well, David, I guess ours would be on a list of the "Top 10 Things You Do NOT Want to Hear from an IR" (or any kind of doctor), but...
This is a direct quote from the Almost-a-Neuro guy who did my LP at a university teaching hospital, who said, "Oh, s**t!" just as he was jamming the needle into my spine. There was a stern looking gentleman with a clipboard looking over his shoulder at the time. I've always wondered what he wrote on it.
This is a completely true story.
