There's a story in the last issue of Private Eye about an anaesthetist
who was rude to a woman giving birth by C-section - she'd held up the op
by nipping off for a fag, and then he couldn't intubate her because she
was coughing so much; and he ventured to suggest that now she'd
witnessed her daughter being born, if she packed in smoking she might
live to see her getting married too - she apparently developed
post-natal depression as a result, and ended up settling for 44K with
the anaesthetist...

As opposed to the anaesthetist who failed to do the job properly,
leaving the woman able to feel everything but unable to communicate.

A little bit of pain never did anyone any harm.
