Semi-related story: When I was in labor with my son, the anesthesiologist buggered up my first epidural. He put it in scar tissue in my back instead of in my spine, so I wasn't getting any pain relief. The baby's dad told the nurse several times that I was still hurting, and she told him it was "just pressure from the contractions."
Yeah, pressure from contractions hurt so bad I nearly broke several fingers. Anyway.
My grandmother finally went and got a doctor, and they talked, and he asked if I had any scar tissue in my back. That's when they realized what had happened. I ended up going most of my labor with no pain meds, because there was only one anesthesiologist on duty that day and he was busy. It sucked.
Anyway, sympathy to the mad. It's infuriating when someone tells you you're just being a baby, especially when you know they're wrong. I hope that nurse enjoyed it.
