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?

Thumbnail...Me and the GF were messing around at her place, chasing each other about etc. At some point she gave me a bit of a shove and I put my hand out to stop myself falling. My hand hit the doorframe and somehow a massive chunk of wood went right under my thumbnail, then broke off.
There was no way I could pull the chunk of wood out as it had broken off too deep. We went round my GF's mums house and I was given two options -
1. Go and wait up A&E for a few hours
2. Do what they're pretty much going to do anyway and take a sterilised knife to cut away part of your nail to remove the chunk of wood.
So I took option number 2. I sat and cut away over half of my thumbnail and got the chunk of wood out.
Took a while to grow back properly.
