The best advice I could give would be to do it, but take your husband
with you. I had some very bad experiences with doctors as a child and
was later sexually abused by a 'friend'. My boyfriend now is the only
person I feel I can completly trust. For any medical procedure of any
kind to even be thought of he needs to be holding on to me and NEVER
leave me alone with the doctors, nurses, or even just the billing
ladies.
