Patient
I had a loop recorder put in on the 24th of June. It was done without anything to numb me. Why? I complained how it hurt instantly and he kept going. It was a very traumatic experience to say the least. I felt every single cut, installation of the device and the stitches. When I called his office and asked to speak to the Dr, a secretary called me two days later and said to take some aspirin ! When I told her the issue, she said that I should have asked for more numbing agent. I had NONE and shouldn't have to ask for more. I totally got blown off. This is unacceptable.
