STILL MASKING Béatrice Copps, MD, FRCPC Because when you're expecting to pass out from the pain and you somehow hold it together it's not quite as bad as you were expecting. These conversations shouldn't even happen. Various forms of pain medication should ALWAYS be offered. Like getting a tooth pulled.
Untitled Moose Game STILL MASKING Béatrice Copps, MD, FRCPC You see, men have teeth. I guarantee if only women had teeth we would be getting fillings anaesthetic-free.
STILL MASKING Patricia Ann Amy Lasky, MD I wrote a rant about this once: If men got pregnant… bitemywords.com/2018/09/17/if-…
STILL MASKING Alex Helena Jennifer Block They didn't want advice; they wanted validation.
STILL MASKING Béatrice Copps, MD, FRCPC So why isn't it the procedure stopped immediately and numbing offered for those patients who do experience severe pain? My fucking dentist can manage that, do we need to start sending doctors to dental school too?
@Pallas46610487 STILL MASKING Béatrice Copps, MD, FRCPC I had a biopsy, embedded IUD removal and insertion done. All in one sitting. It was over an hour and was excruciating. I, too, was screaming and I have a high pain threshold, too. 😕
STILL MASKING @playtheserpent PGHobgyn Andrew Stolbach, MD, MPH My grandma: Oh, giving birth was easy! You just lie back and it happens!
My mom, later: Don't believe a word she says back when she gave birth they gave women all the drugs.
Shit Luck Summer • she/her @ELDeLamater STILL MASKING Béatrice Copps, MD, FRCPC Right, which is why the sedation/anesthesia part (like all procedures) should be optional! Many ppl will opt out, which is good.
@NoBiasForensics STILL MASKING Béatrice Copps, MD, FRCPC i've had some significant pain episodes (crps, tibial plateau fracture, etc). iud insertion was it's own distinct hell and i will never do it again without sedation/pain/nausea medication
STILL MASKING michi 🍓 korey with a K ElChaupiz Tasha J. Ale🇭🇳 The last thing I would want to do is validate the idea of antivaxx.
STILL MASKING Okay but is there any medical reason why sedation or anasthesia is rarely even an option for IUD insertions?
STILL MASKING Béatrice Copps, MD, FRCPC If the vast majority of patients only experience mild to moderate pain, it’s weird that I have yet to meet a single woman who has had that experience with IUD insertion & removal. Instead, EVERY woman I’ve met with an IUD has described it as excruciating.
@correctrix STILL MASKING Béatrice Copps, MD, FRCPC BAM!! They don't give a shit. It's all about the money baby.
🏁The iatrogenically harmed menstruatrix🤐🕷️ @kaitprobably Vedan Anthony-North STILL MASKING Béatrice Copps, MD, FRCPC Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, just because someone doesn’t have sensitive calves, nipples, teeth et. doesn’t mean someone else doesn’t.
Disregarding people’s pain because a few don’t feel it is why people end up traumatized.
Wulfsethen 🇺🇦🐀 Sonny Day @WafflesPlanchon STILL MASKING All im hearing is is that a woman's discomfort has become so routine and common in medicine they don't want to waste resources making the process comfortable even though they are perfectly capable and its q common practice in other countries
STILL MASKING Ann K. Walter Jennifer Gunter And that’s saying something when trump is on Twitter.
