One cold night in winter of 2003 I was Chief Resident @RCHMelbourne & I was asked to give a talk to potential paed residents...there were also some of that year's residents & Director of Physician Training @margot_nash pushed them: "surely there's some bad things about paeds?" 
One particularly great resident - who had gone on to amazing things and just completed his PhD- talked about how much he loved the job but he said:
"I do drive to work each day and know I hurt children"
That changed the course of my career.
"I do drive to work each day and know I hurt children"

In 2003 that was still the elephant in the room of paediatrics.
In the years that followed a huge amount of work happened around the world.
And in Australia we had the RACP guideline statement on proc pain:
