I work in Radilogy and our Radiologist do bone marrow aspirations. I have no desire to ever perform these procedures. Most of these patients find this very uncomfortable and require pain meds to keep them comfortable. Also, many of these patients have abnormal labs that need evaluated by a physician to determine any treatment or transfusion prior to doing this test. Personally this is best left to the Physicians in my humble opinion.
