Ishaan Bhatia, a 28-year-old software engineer,...
Ishaan Bhatia, a 28-year-old software engineer, had been experiencing severe, debilitating pain during his wife's labour two years prior, which left him with post-traumatic stress and anxiety about future medical procedures. His symptoms included intense vasovagal reactions, panic attacks, and a racing heart at the mere thought of needles or medical settings. This history was complicating his ability to support his wife during her current pregnancy. His obstetrician recommended a cervical block to manage pain for an upcoming cervical biopsy, explaining it as a quick, targeted numbing that would prevent the overwhelming systemic reaction he feared. During the procedure, Ishaan focused on his breathing while the doctor administered the injection. He felt only a brief pinch and then profound relief as the area went numb, allowing the biopsy to proceed without incident. Post-procedure, he had mild cramping for a few hours but no panic. The emotional journey was transformative; moving from a state of dread and helplessness to one of control and empowerment, he felt he had reclaimed a part of his life and could now be a more present partner.
