As the book says: "Life is like a delivery room, you will never know what will happen in the next second."
Based on the best-selling original work, the creative team of this drama is also worth mentioning.
"Go to His World" director Lucy Forbes and "Friends of the House" director Tom Kingsley , which is a powerful joint force. As for the actors, we invited the familiar Ben Weixiao to star.

"Perfume" stills
The story in this drama revolves around the obstetrician and gynecologist played by Ben Wei Xiao Adam .
Adam works in a public hospital in the UK and is an agent of obstetrics and gynecology.
Under the name of "agent", he is not valued by his colleagues and is not valued by his leaders, but his work is still very busy.
often works overtime, and it is normal to be reversed day and night. Adam often sleeps in the car after get off work until dawn.
But for Adam, these are nothing.
What made him most anxious and irritable were the weird patients he met at work.
patient number one, temporary cramming type maternal.
One day, Adam who was going to work just walked to the hospital door and saw a pregnant woman who was about to give birth.
She was alone and slow to move, and her expression was very painful.
After a quick question and examination, Adam judged that the pregnant woman was about to give birth and was in a side lying position of the baby who had difficulty giving birth naturally.
He didn't care about the rules and procedures of the hospital, and immediately helped the pregnant woman take the shortcut and headed straight to the operating room.
During this process, the pregnant woman was unaware of her physical condition and only cared about whether she was giving birth in the hospital for free...
Fortunately, after Adam's timely rescue, the child was finally born without any danger.
But Adam was criticized and punished by his superiors for not following the hospital's procedures.
Patient No. 2, picking for the four types of mothers.
A white pregnant woman came to the hospital to wait for delivery, accompanied by her mother.
During the break, she was lying on the bed and playing crosswords gracefully, looking very caring.
But in fact, she is an absolute racist. She strongly opposed black doctors to take care of herself, and her words showed discrimination and contempt for people of color. This aroused Adam's dissatisfaction. He immediately quarreled with the woman and even sweared. Unexpectedly, during the delivery, the mother explicitly refused to send her a baby. Naturally Adam ignored this unreasonable request. But after speaking out for justice, Adam did not receive any thanks and understanding from his black colleagues. It can be said that his efforts are no longer thankful.
Patient No. 3, ignorant and silly white sweet type mother.
A young pregnant woman has repeatedly visited the hospital for treatment, claiming that she was discomfort in many places and even used pretending to die to attract the doctor's attention.
When Adam asked for a consultation, her answer was not right and she had no common sense in life.
After repeated incidents, the people in the hospital were unbearable.
Adam thought she was not feeling unwell, but was too anxious and suggested that she go home and rest more.
But unexpectedly, this suspicious mother was really abnormal and was pregnant with a newborn with placenta abruption .
After some emergency rescue, the woman was temporarily safe, but the premature baby was not out of danger.
Because of this misdiagnosis, Adam was punished by the hospital and was sued by the patient.
I believe everyone has seen that urgent and weird stories happen every day in the obstetrics and gynecology ward.
In addition to the above patients, there are also punk mothers who listen to music during delivery, lace mothers with poisonous tongues, etc.
And these life-and-death cases revolve around Adam, who is an agent doctor, which makes people feel his anxiety and even collapse.
And this is one of the characteristics of this series. It is different from most medical dramas in the past. It is dedicated to depicting the noble deeds of doctors saving lives and helping the wounded, and shaping a noble and majestic heroic image.
On the contrary, he started from Adam, an ordinary person with many shortcomings, and led the audience to see the cruel status of the vast number of medical workers represented by him:
The bottom level is insufficient, the upper level bureaucracy, poor working environment, long working hours and long-term overload, etc.
In addition to the main line of the hospital, there is another story line in the play, that is Adam's private life.
Because obstetrics and gynecology work takes up most of the time and energy, Adam's private life is also messy:
Get together with his lover, it is rare to meet a few times a week, and sometimes it is a luxury to take time to make a phone call.
also gets along with friends. It is rare to attend a party and is often called to the hospital for overtime.
There are also the urges of the elders in the family to get married, arranged blind dates, etc., these trivial matters in life made Adam breathless.
Just like the title of the drama "Pain is inevitable", it focuses on the real life state of medical workers, allowing us to see the pain of an obstetrician hitting walls everywhere in his daily life and work.
The miracle of saving lives and helping the wounded is just a blink of an eye, and the depressed and depressed daily life is the real norm.
It is worth mentioning that under such a despairing theme, the series uses the method of breaking the fourth wall to open up emotional outlets for the audience.
When an emergency or weird situation occurs, Adam usually makes some interesting complaints about the camera.
This operation not only reflects the character's straightforward personality, but also adjusts the serious and tense atmosphere, eases the intensive narrative rhythm. The effect of black humor is full.
Ben Weixiao, who plays Adam, said in an interview that this drama is a love letter dedicated to NHS (National Medical Services System of the United Kingdom) staff.
is actually not just the NHS, this drama also cares about every medical staff in reality, and even every worker who is busy with life.
Whether it is Adam, his superior who is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, or newcomers who are working hard to review and prepare for the exam, they all have their own anxiety and dilemma.
In the despairing work and life, there are always some people and things that are worth our struggle for.
Life is a matter of pain, but we must move forward.
