When I was a poll worker I got to see this first-hand. So sad.

Reply to comment by Hoyarugby in [Inquirer] Philadelphia collected $21 million in fees to improve pedestrian safety. Sidewalks are still treacherous. by Hoyarugby
Not something I thought about much until I started nursing and was exposed to way more people who used wheelchairs/walkers/canes to move. It's really horrendous.

My understanding is that it started back when the Jews and the Chinese were both non-Christian immigrants in the Lower East Side.
Edit: Ooh, Wikipedia backs me up! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish-American_patronage_of_Chinese_restaurants

So like, the lidocaine injection hurts more than the IUD insertion... because you don't feel the IUD insertion as much after the lidocaine injection! So yes, the lidocaine injection will be the most painful part of the procedure, but that means it's working!!
Anyway, I've had a cervical lidocaine injection and yeah, it hurt. Not a huge amount, though, and it was way better than the alternative.
