Broken epidural catheter

Hello. This question was asked by someone before. 36 weeks pregnant, expecting a labor epidural, saying had an epidural catheter broken in her back many years ago and was not retrieved. no other history available and presumably asymptomatic. What would be a reasonable approach? my colleagues say "Just do it and if something happens it's your fault". Thanks.
