A married couple visited the hospital for the childbirth process. Upon their arrival, the physician shared news about a newly developed device capable of transferring a portion of the mother’s labor pain to the father. Eager to explore this option, the couple agreed to give it a try. Initially, the pain transfer was set at 10%, with the doctor cautioning that even this amount might surpass any pain the father had previously encountered.
However, as the labor advanced, the husband felt surprisingly well and urged the doctor to increase the pain transfer. The machine was adjusted to 20%, yet the husband remained unfazed. Astonished by his resilience, the doctor increased the pain transfer to 50%. Remarkably, the husband continued to feel quite comfortable. Seeing the evident relief it brought to his wife, he encouraged the doctor to transfer the entirety of the pain to him. Consequently, the wife delivered a healthy baby with minimal discomfort. Both spouses were overjoyed. Upon returning home, they discovered the mailman lifeless on their porch.
