Talk about advances in medical field!

A married couple went to the hospital to have thier baby delivered.
Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine that would
transfer a portion of the mother's labor pain to the baby's father.

He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favor of it.

The doctor set the pain transfer to 10% for staters, explaining that even
10% was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced before.

However, as the labor pains progressed, the husband felt fine and asked
 the doctor to go ahead and kick it up a notch.

The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20% pain transfer.
The husband was still feeling fine.
The doctor checked the husband's blood pressure and was amazed at how well he
was doing. At this point, they decided for 50%. The husband continued to feel quite well.

Since the pain transfer was obviously helping out the wife considerably,
 the husband encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him. The wife
delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and her husband were ecstatic.


When they got home, they found the mailman on the porch, dead.
