    You're dead wrong, had one in among the most renowned Children's hospitals in all of Canada at 15. Wasn't given so much as a Tylenol. Most excruciating, and horrific pain you will EVER feel in your life.

  • @Yadiluv81

    Its a dangerto preform lumbar puncture in total anesthesia-

  • IT ONLY LOOKS PAINFUL,THERE IS NO PAIN-The children and adults are given local anethetics. The procedure is as painful as a pin prick-if that.

  • @NaHyiie it dosn't hurt that much.

  • Because doctors don't care how much they hurt the child...

  • Babies do have high white cell counts on the DOB. I had a baby with a high white cell count of a band nutrophil of 70% with toxic changes on her DOB. Although no proof of infection. She had Iv antibiotics started on DOB,23-28% 02 blow into a humidicrib. Without the use of a vent/cpap/cannula. High white cell count not present after DOB. She had 7 days of Iv/IM antibiotics & test results kept coming back as inconlcusive test results. Thank gosh she was stable & never needed a spinal tap

  • @Thundralight, a nephew needed this done a year or so back with only a local anesthetic, pretty similar to what they did here. Poor kid ended up traumatized by the ordeal and needed counseling before he could set foot in a doctors office or hospital again. Agreed, it should be illegal to do this to children (or probably anyone) without general anesthetic.

  • OMG!!!!! Poor poor kid. This has got to be one of the most distressing things I have ever allowed myself to see. One word.......WHY????????????

  • when my brother waz a baby, this nurse wanted to do that to him (it wasn't even required, she just wanted to do it) and my dad said HELL no
