Same here. I was told they needed to have an endometrial biopsy and was given zero warning of how painful it would be. I was given no anesthetic. I am so angry. Why do they not numb the area or at least warn you about the pain?! I was sick and traumatized, dizzy and faint and sweating. The Dr. then just quickly left and said "oh you can lie there if you are dizzy". Didn't ask me if I was okay. When I asked the Dr. why she didn't warn me- she would not respond. When I asked the nurse why no anesthetic or warning was given she said "well it only lasts ten seconds". I asked her if she had ever had the procedure done and she said no, and so I asked her not to diminish my painful experience please. The use a Pipelle, basically like a straw and push it into your sensitive soft parts for 10 seconds. Dr. did it 3 times. It was horrible so I can't believe they try to pass it off as not a big deal.
