A member asked:
Should you drink the night before a bone marrow biopsy?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes.: Unless its being done under general anesthesia, you should eat and drink (including alcohol) as you would as part of your normal routine. If you are having a general anesthesia, you should take nothing by mouth for 8 hours prior to the procedure. If you are on blood thinners, check with your prescribing doctor to see if its okay to stop these to avoid excessive bleeding at the biopsy site.

No: No, this would be from a safety standpoint of the surgery.
