This is a personal story about the implementation and building of an independent outpatient fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) clinic. The story spans 30-years. The clinic was opened in 1991 and for the first five-years, FNA biopsies were done by palpation. In 1996, I began doing biopsies using ultrasound guidance without the assistance of a radiologist, ultrasound technician or imaging center. In this short story, some of my trials and tribulations as well as successes are highlighted.
