Thanks to my biological inheritance, I have quite a few moles on my body. I had three suspicious moles removed from my back about ten years ago and recently had one removed from the bottom of my foot. While the lidocaine shot I had when the moles on my back were removed didn't feel good, it was tolerable. However, when getting the shot prior to having the mole from the bottom of my foot removed, I looked like I was getting an exorcism; only my head and the foot getting prepped stayed on the table (FYI, there are more nerve endings on the bottom of our feet than any other area of the body per square inch). I told my doctor that if she'd need further biopsies from my foot, I want to be put under. :-P
