MODERATORS
To be clear, it's the first time the CDC issued guidance. There are other sources which already suggested that pain management is a good idea.
Alright, so what makes this special is the fact that it comes from America's biggest medical authority (from my understanding of the CDC's role)?
It will change policy at many hospitals and outpatient facilities. You should hear fewer stories from american women being told by their doctor that they did not receive any pain management or local anesthetic, and were told "you may feel a mild pinch"
