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?

A few:1) Stripping the wallpaper on a set of ancient stepladders and the 2nd rung snapping and my ankle fell through, removing a huge sliver of flesh from my shin. It didn't hurt until i saw the chunk of meat dangling freely from my leg.
2) Showing off with a set of nunchaka, I was (or least i thought i was) fairly adept at the weapon, until i mis-calculated and the weighted end smashed into my funny bone and knocked me unconscious for a few seconds.
3) Falling off a rented scooter in India (without a helmet) and then smashing and grinding into the ground at roughly 25mph in nothing but shorts and t-shirt, and then spending the rest of the next few days pulling gravel and stones out of my hip, shins, leg and elbow.
4) Mountain hiking in the lake district, spent a night on the mountain and then descended said mountain in the morning (but forgetting i still had my comfy trainers on as opposed to my hiking boots, which were in my rucksack) and losing my grip, slowly running at a fair pace down the hill, slipping and sliding with no grip... and watching the ground vanish from beneath my feet, falling in a complete somersault head over heels and LUCKILY landing on my rucksack about twelve feet below, smashing both my heels into a rock and winding myself..... About half an hour later i electrocuted myself on an electric fence too.
