Aaaaaand that's why they specifically call them 'needle' biopsies. Heh.
You should see the ones they use for liver samples. Jeeeeeezus.
About ten, fifteen years ago, my dad had a sebaceous cyst biopsied. Sucker was so damn big, and so damn old, that the nurses and the doc had to leave the room, first to get fresh air, and second to pull in a portable ventilator, before they could finish getting it out. (I'm glad I missed that one) He was lucky, though, it was just a cyst, nothing else outstanding about it.
