This is a question 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?

Couple from the distant past of the late 90's/ early 00's
I haven't have much in the way of broken bones, or testicular torsion as seems popular here. I've never even been stung by a bee or wasp.

However there are a few moments of pain that I remember from my childhood.

~~~Wavy lines time machine ~~~

It was nearing christmas and I was about 7 or 8 makeing it either 1999 or 2000, and me and the family were heading out to get a Christmas tree. Walking along the edge of the pavement and trying to balance I fell towards the road. As I fell towards the unforgiving tarmac, my mother, who was holding my hand at the time, tried to save me by trying to pull me upwards. However due to the nature of gravity and the way i was falling instead of stopping mid fall I swung towards the even more unforgiving corner of the pavement.

A trip to A&E, a cracked skull, and 7 stitches later I found myself at home with a weeks worth of sweets and cartoon network playing for 3 days solid.... a result for my younger self.

In year 9 or 10 at school whilst running around during a break time a large gust of wind blew something into my eye. Everything was fine until I blinked, scratchy feelings on the eyeball are unpleasant, so a trip to the nurse's office was in order. She holds my eye open and then decideds its best to go to A&E as there is a small shard of glass in my eye.

At A&E they tell me to take a seat and try not to blink or rub that eye... 8 hours later a doctor sees me and within five minutes the shard is out of my very scratched eyeball and I am handed a saline solution to wash my eye with for the next few weeks. Trying not to blink or touch the swollen eyelid is very hard for that amount of time.
