I am laughing as I type this. Loved your response.

When my urologist wanted to do my biopsies trans rectal I thought the same thing about the increase in infections, and the statement "you would only have to stay in hospital a few days if infected." Then he told me about the statistics for rate of infection for transperineally was negligible I began asking questions with all my medical providers.

My cardiologists got involved and told him there was no issue with me having it done transperineally and with aesthesia. I don't think the urologist became my buddy and called me and said he will do the biopsies via MRI/FUSION transperineal.

Even the anesthesiologist came to procedure came in to talk to me prior to biosies remembered me from recently having a colonoscopy with anesthesia and said you had no problems before at all, and I don't expect any, but I will be here.
