Steph the spinal tap is not a cake walk ive had 2 .My first one they had me lay on my side and acrh my back so the needle could go in between the vertabra , the second one was a feasco .My doc sent me to the Hosp to get it done .I laid on a Metal table face down in a cold A-- room for an hour waiting for the idiot to get to the hosp. ,then he refused because of not enough info so i waited 2 1/2 hours more on that metal table until my doc. sent the right info .He used a Xray machine so he could see where the needle was going in so he wouldnt hit a Nerve root . He hit the Nerve root ,which sent a shock into my groin like 220 volts ,then had the nerve to ask me" hows it going " Incompetent and uncaring Medical personel have a HUGE impact
on sick people .People mishandling spesimans,doing the wrong tests treating patients like cattle . The key word is CAUTION someone has to be an advocate for the patient and make sure they get treated in an appropriate manner .They always give a soda afterwards ,it replenishes the Glyconutrients and helps get rid of the headache you'll get after from them removing the CSF cervical Spinal Fluid .
