What Is The Procedure For Taking Core Biopsy?

I m have a core biopsy done tomorrow, why do we have to allow 90 minutes for procedure, are we on the table for that amount of time, also why is a drive home needed afterwards, as this will be done in a mamogram /ultrasound place not a hospital- iam am sweating thinking about all this -should I be scared.?
