Hi all

I spoke to the hospital and apparently a specialist nurse (not neurologist or anaesthetist) will be doing the lumbar puncture - this was the first unusual thing I've heard of to start with - I'd much prefer a neurologist or anaesthetist doing it personally.

But it gets weirder...She does the actual procedure on the ward with all the other patients watching me! Now that is for one not very hygienic (should usually be sterile not communal - i.e in a theatre) and also not very private if I do say so myself!

What do any of you reckon?

Personally, me? I don't want it done at this hospital...it sounds dodgy...

Many thanks for any help or advice any you may be able to give.

Kind regards

DS
