Julia Garner as Anna Delvey, left, and Anna Chlumsky as Vivian Kent in the ‘droningly repetitive’ Inventing Anna.

Lampshaded (then averted) in Deadpool (2016). Ajax tells Wade Wilson that he could speak in euphemisms ("This may hurt", "take a deep breath", etc.), but since he's completely insensitive (both emotionally and physically) he doesn't really give a crap, so he just says what he'll actually do: torture Wade mercilessly until his mutant gene activates. Then he proceeds to do exactly that. Bigg hopes patients will draw upon her book to “validate their experience”. As long as those long-dead male anatomists are stamped across women’s bodies, a willing audience may do just that.The Discworld novel Men at Arms has the troll retrophrenologist truthfully informing his client "This won't hurt a bit" as he readies the mallet. (Phrenology being the pseudo-science based on determining a person's mental state and personality by measuring the skull and variations thereof. Retrophrenology "works" by introducing new variations to the skull to modify said mental state and personality...) N°1 in Artemis Fowl mentions that one of his spells "might hurt a bit". Holly, who is about to receive said spell, immediately lampshades the trope to herself.

Inverted in Creepshow, when Jordy Verrill dreams of what will happen if he goes to the doctor about the growth on his fingers. The doctor tells him the fingers will have to come off, then opens up a steam sterilizer and takes out a meat cleaver. "This is going to be extremely painful, Mr. Verrill," he says.

Relax - This won't hurt." Doc McStuffins: The whole clinic staff uttered this exact phrase to an uneasy Niles while trying to get his bandages off. Of course, Niles was expecting it to hurt. Inverted in that they proceeded to carefully take off most of the bandages while Niles wasn't paying attention, so he naturally felt nothing when Doc told him it was time to take them off and pulled a little piece of bandage still on him. A valuable sociological perspective on women’s bodies and health and an even more valuable (and optimistic) view of a better future for all.’ GINA RIPPONDigimon Adventure 02: Oikawa assures Ken it won't hurt when Oikawa extracts the Dark Seed from him. Whether Oikawa believed this or not, the way Ken groans in pain, cries out to his friends for help, and finally passes out clearly proves he was wrong. An RNA-based COVID vaccine is more exhilarating than a system to distribute it, for instance. Meanwhile, debilitating pelvic pain or heavy menstrual bleeding are disregarded. We should look beyond short-term silver bullet solutions, she argues. For example, pregnant women receiving continuity of care from a midwife they know are 24 per cent less likely to experience preterm birth and 16 per cent less likely to lose their baby. “Perhaps it is time for a Nobel Prize for social, rather than scientific, innovation in medical research.” Zurg: [as the noise of the operating machine reaches a peak] Did I mention the operation will be excruciatingly painful? She is balanced in her evidence analysis, forensic in her research. There’s a striking silence here, though: an absence of women who have been patients themselves. No interviews on hospital wards, not even Zoom calls with those enduring chronic illness. For a book that points to “the power of listening to women”, this compounds their invisibility. Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle. When Haruo and Yuko are about to be forcibly assimilated by Mecha-Godzilla, Galu-gu (a more willing participant) tells them: "It only hurts in the beginning. You'll be at ease soon. Relax and surrender yourself."

This is intensified by bias that characterises women as overly anxious. One 39-year-old (not mentioned by Bigg) told The Brain Tumour Charity she was repeatedly sent away with “antidepressants, sleep charts”, etc: “One of the GPs I saw actually made fun of me, saying what did I think my headaches were, a brain tumour?” If the medical profession is rife with impostor syndrome, then Chloe, the six-part BBC One thriller created, written and directed by Alice Seabright ( Sex Education), is about embracing the fraud within in a social media-addled world where the heavily curated onscreen life is king.

Like the book, This Is Going to Hurt is full of images and scenes that you’ll hope to forget, but, more unexpectedly, it also retains the two most difficult aspects of the book (and those, incidentally, that remain with the reader long after the foreign-objects-up-orifices anecdotage has faded). Beautifully averted in Hook, where Hook is about to pierce Peter's son's ear and tells him 'Brace yourself, lad, because this is REALLY going to hurt.'

The result is graphically reminiscent of Jed Mercurio’s Bodies, but this time from the perspective of an unintentional bad guy who also does good… it’s complicated. The tone chops so violently between light and shade that sometimes it forgets to take the viewer with it, but Whishaw effectively embodies the bloodshot-eyed desperation of a macho-hours work culture where every slip can mean life or death. Carried to the point of sadism in Joanne Greenberg's I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, when five-year-old Deborah undergoes two operations for urethral cancer. She sees through all the Lies to Children and suspects they're planning to kill her. It's one of many factors that cause her to lose her mind later in life. And it's Truth in Television— happened to the author. Women: your pelvic parts have been branded by men. There, you’ll find the names of long-dead male anatomists – like Gabriel Falloppio of fallopian tube fame, James Douglas, whose eponymous pouch lies behind the uterus, and Caspar Bartholin, whose name endures in glands by the labia. It’s a land grab reminiscent of men who planted flags on mountains climbed and lands conquered. This patriarchal history, though, seems, well, historical. With other eponyms consigned to dusty textbooks, and women medical school entrants outnumbering men, hasn’t change finally emerged?

Definitely Truth in Television, as anyone knows who has been to the dentist, note There even is an expression in French, "to lie like a teethripper", presumably based on it although it is increasingly averted as anesthesia gets better and starts to get used more widely. This is also a commonly-used phrase when children who are Afraid of Needles are involved. Carrigan Crittenden: [stalking after Dibs, carrying a huge battle axe] Damn it, Dibs! This won't hurt a bit! Alternatively, the procedure will actually not hurt at all but it's the outcome that is the problem. Maybe the execution method or the forced transformation is painless, but the promise it will be so is a hollow distraction from the victim's fate. In the Batman Beyond episode "Meltdown", Dr. Lake tells Mr. Freeze "You may feel some momentary discomfort" during the procedure to transfer his mind from his head (all that remains of him) to a new cloned body. After being betrayed by Lake, Freeze retaliates, using the same line just before freezing her.Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, "Seeing Red": Terrance says to Mac before beating him up "This will only hurt for a second." The line becomes a Running Gag throughout the episode, and at the end is given an Ironic Echo by Bloo: "Don't worry, it'll only hurt for a week."
