I always subscribe to the "what would I like done to me?" theory. If I am having an IDC inserted, please give me some sort of local anaesthetic. Don't know why the drug companies don't make a smaller dose syringe (maybe with 3-5 ml of lignocaine gel) for women, as everyone I know uses the 10 ml men's syringe for women anyway.
