I have no idea whether or not it was a partial or a full anything. I
know it was full time invasive pain! Yes, I had to drink quarts of some
gloppy stuff first. Then they shoved a probe where no one should
rightly be. It's an exit, not an entrance! They didn't give me a shot.
It was extremely painful. There's no chance of anyone doing that
again without medication.
