The gory details (you might want to skip this part)
The first needle drained the liquid-filled nodule. About one teaspoon of urine colored liquid came out.
The doctor poked the next needle around a lot. Enrique found this painful. For me it was distressing to watch. The doctor said he needed to dislodge some tissue.
Throughout the procedure, the technician held the sonogram wand up to Enrique's neck, so the doctor could watch himself work on the computer screen.
When the third needle was in his neck, enrique turned white, squeezed my hand and asked them to stop (which they did). Then he fainted.
Since he was already laying down, this wasn't as bad as it could have been. He looked like he was having a brief seizure. His eyes rolled back and his arms jerked and he moaned. In 5 seconds, he was back. "I blacked out."
They were ready to stop taking samples, but he wanted to make sure they got all the samples they needed. "I just need a five minute break."
After they took the fourth sample, he doctor said he wanted Enrique to have a CAT scan, the same day.
