So both my wife and I wish we could transfer the knowledge this comic provides as I would have talked with her to get one just after we were married and if she knew she might have hit planned parenthood at 18. The author is I think something like 10 years younger than us. Maybe a bit less. Its the type of thing that makes you want to live in the future. I came from a family of seven kids and I know my parents did not really get condoms until late in life and I had this conversation with an elderly lady when I was in college who grew up in the south and was pregnant when she had believed the stork brought babies. Drives me crazy the folks in my country who want to be like the past. Of course what they want is for lesser folk to live like the past while they reap the fruits of a modern life.

Oh geez, I hope Jen’s friend wins her malpractice suit.
I get punchline is fictional, but potentially painful procedures always ask if anesthetics are possible.
Anesthetics for IUD insertion are very rarely offered, and often refused if requested

It's insane to me that this just now came out
Soft paywall, anyone got an archived link or something?
Sometimes this community will have the article
Uhm. A bit slow today. The joke is that he should have asked if they wanted an anesthetic before doing all the painful stuff, not after, right?
And at the very least the moment he noticed she was in pain. This also against a backdrop of doctors long believing women had higher pain tolerance.
I think it's more that the doctor was struggling to insert it, so he offer the local anesthetic only to make his job easier.
Yeah. For some reason, despite all the women telling them it hurts, doctors typically believed the sales critters when they said the procedure is completely painless.
Well, if someone who controls his paycheck said that, what choice fid he have really? Because as we slready know, money is more important than people!
Idk if I'm tired or uneducated about the subject but I don't get what I'm supposed to understand from either the comic or the explanation under it.

Thank you for the context. I would never have figure out without being told that the doctor never offered this before. It was so obvious to me: You got anesthetic at the dentist, before surgery of any sort, before being stitch up, when you gave birth. I assumed she had to refuse it at some point for some mysterious reason I couldn't figure out. I mean for what other reason would she go trough that much pain purposefully. Now I mad at the doctor with her.
It is painful for years? How could you know if it is better to take it off after all? Is it normally suppose to stop hurting after a few days?

That's terrible.
sorry my comments were about knowing what an iud was. I mean we did but once you read her experiences (not in just this comic but in other ones she had) its like. woa. that thing is great.
Non-hormonal long term birth control. That's crazy good. The pain though...
I thought there was a hormonal version as well as non hormonal. She mentions being used to not having periods (in previous comics) so I think the one she had used was hormonal.
I don't read it very much so I did not notice.
IUD insertion is often painful, standard of care only recently updated to include pain management. Women would essentially have to self medicate with Tylenol and ibuprofen if they were even knowledgeable about how painful the procedure can be.
That's crazy.
