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?

Scrotal Probe
several years back I had a persistant dull ache in a testicle - something I didn't want to linger. Cue one trip to the doctor's, where the initial diagnosis involved have my nuts gently felt up by a female doctor.
As she felt it needed a more thorough examination I was sent to the Western General Hospital, where a male Urologist gave me a second assessment. I felt as if my nuts had been used as chinese stress balls. Still none the wiser they decided an emergency scrotal probe was required.
The probe requires a quick shave followed by a 1 inch incision below the base of the penis. post op relief was provided by a morphine drip with codeine based chasers for the next week. The fun part was trying to walk - the only comfortable way was to imitate a cowboy's shoot out stance.
