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?

Leg BreakBroke my leg skiing on the first day of a school trip to Italy in 1977 - I know, very clichéd.
Both bones were broken just above the ankle. That wasn't too painful really.
The hospital didn't put a cast on for 3 days (to let the swelling go down) and gave me a general anaesthetic, so, again, no real pain. But then they x-rayed it to make sure the bones were set straight. They weren't.
Cue me being wheeled into a room (not knowing what was going on as it was all in Italian) and a doctor making a cut in the plaster where the break was. A nun held my knee and the doctor leant on my foot. I passed out, apparently shouting "CUUUNNNNTTTTT!!!!" at the top of my lungs.
Came around with a straight leg and a bolly off the nun for swearing.
It hurt. A lot.
