Staff shortages leaving women in ‘barbaric’ pain in News A group article by Patient Safety Learning Posted 7 June, 2022 Here's the quote I gave HSJ from the Campaign Against Painful Hysteroscopy: “A shortage of anaesthetists continues to cause barbaric pain in gynae endoscopy. Leading gynaecologists are trivialising uterine endoscopy and claiming it causes only “mild discomfort”. So women are tricked into attempting hysteroscopy/biopsy/polyp removal with NO sedation, NO anaesthesia and just paracetamol & ibuprofen from home. NHS audits show that 1 in 3 hysteroscopy outpatients suffer SEVERE pain. Yet colonoscopy patients are routinely offered safely monitored IV sedation with analgesia. Do we need #metoo lawsuits to end the gender pain gap?” 0
