    I’m curious what a doctor taking the pain seriously would look like to you. Are you expecting something like a locally injected anesthetic or full in-patient sedation?

      Either! Both would be better than throwing up from the pain, passing out, and then being sneered at for both.

      Perhaps at least a prescription pain killer taken orally?

      I would certainly support some sort of local, along the lines of what dentists use.

        Maybe bathing the IUD in a numbing lubricant, and coating the lady’s internals using a gentle wand with the same stuff? Assuming that sort of thing isn’t already done.

          I was gonna say, dip the thing in lidocaine gel first

          (Or maybe cocaine; not sure if lidocaine’s vasoconstriction would be a problem)
