Ouch!A friend was once given a biopsy by a sleep-deprived junior doctor.
They needed a sample of his colon, so inserted the long bendy jaws-on-the-end thingy, located the suspect area and... he shot through the ceiling. Doctor had forgotten to administer any anaesthetic.
What was your ouchiest moment?

I was late for class once at schoolso I ran at full speed up to the top floor, flung the doors at the end of the corridor open and - they swung back with such force I had no time to let go and they connected bonecrushingly with the wall. I ended up curled in a ball around my hand unable to breathe with the pain and was found by a nervous first year who called the nurse.
Painful, but why the worst?
The most excruciating part was being accused by my mother of subconsciously deliberately mangling my own hand so that then I wouldn't be able to take notes in class so that I could fulfill my need to see myself fail as part of my fear of achievement.
I should've burnt all her 'self-help' books :(

Oh dear god yes, yes you should have.My parents were given advice about dealing with difficult children, back when me and my brothers were starting primary school. Things like 'when they do something right, praise them a lot, so they get used to liking doing things right'.
Fifteen years later, they've long got into the habit, and we still get a Great Big Smile and an effusive 'Well done! You're doing really well' whenever we empty the dishwasher. Drives you mad. MAD I tell you!
