This is a question Now, there was no need for that...

Tell us about the times when an already difficult situation has been made worse for no good reason. Pollollups writes, "As if being given a muscle relaxant and trapped in an MRI tube wasn't bad enough: whilst thus immobilised, they played me Dido."

That extra touch...
Around a year and a half ago I came down with acute stomach pain. It got worse and worse, and eventually I got my missus to take me to the emergency section of the hospital, where they took me straight in. They asked me lots of questions, poked me and looked all over me, and decided that it was probably appendicitis. Just before they put me on morphine (which was sweet) a different doctor came in, asked me to roll over on my side, and lift my knees up to my chin, as he pulled on a latex glove.

Now, when the doctors had already decided on a course of action, and this test wasn't going to change their mind, why did this one have to stick his finger up my arse?

Plus, why did it have to be done by this Neanderthal with thick fingers, rather than one of the pretty young doctors (with slim fingers) that had been seeing me earlier?

There really was no need for that.
