  • @icemom09 When starting IV's there isn't really much danger of the person starting it causing an infection. Gloves are really just for personal protection against blood borne pathogens. I'm sure this nurse is very experienced, and not worried about getting any blood on her.

  • I wish you goodluck.

  • These are fucking AWFUL... I had one done to me and the nurses said out of everyone they have ever had they have never heard someone in as much pain as I was... I never want to donate some again it's sooooo bad but I guess people out there need healthy BM so what can you do :-

  • I see how strong he is through all of this and it makes me hope that I can be at least half as strong for my bone marrow biopsy! I've been freaked out about it! Way to go- you are soooo strong!

  • Be strong little man praying for you and your family, god bless.

  • good job Joey .your such a brave boy . how are you doing these days ?

  • This really sucks. My brother was diagnosed with luekemie in 1972 and died in 1974. I wnt with him for his bone marrow tests and let me tell you it was horrible. I was not allowed in the room with him but could hear him screeming throughout the clinic. It was terrible. To this day I have such a problem with any test that has to be done to me because of what my brother went through.

  • @68buickwildcat I couldn't agree more. Also, there's the fact that the medical community is still using a 1940's treatment in the 21st Century. That in and of itself is mind-blowing. :(

  • poor sweetie I hope he is still fighting and cured.
