He was all the time talking about a "sewing needle" - "not seen in 30 years of practice" and then I finally told him to stop that sewing needle talk and that it was part of an injection needle!
I am a newbie quilter but further than into my finger I never managed to mislead a needle

Thank you all for your good wishes, I really feel miserable.

Oh my!
Can't believe they didn't take care of it 30 years ago!

Talk about sitting on pins and needles! You have been doing that for years!

I hope it will be a simple procedure to get out!

Praying for pain relief!

It seems to me that the doctor who originally left the needle behind should at least cover the cost of the removal.
