Dudes doing colonoscopies while awake.
Women giving birth without epidurals.
We live in an amazing time on this planet where we have medicines that take away all the pain and discomfort of these things. You don't have to bite down on a stick while pressing out a kid on the high plains of Wyoming. You don't have to experience rape to make sure your intestines are cancer free.
There are other cool things in our modern era. Like cars and airplanes. You don't have to walk everywhere. We have phones and computers. You don't have to send your communications via horseback courier.
