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?

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.
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.
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!
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?
Confirmed. IUD without anaesthetic had me halfway up the table.
