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?

One from an old teacher of mineHe doesn't like needles. He REALLY doesn't like needles. In fact, he's hinted in the past that this phobia is the main reason he didn't do a degree in medicine. He also has an interesting past being at various times a formula ford and superbike racer, and a martial artist (before anyone comes out with the "gullible children" thing, we made him prove all this).
Anyway, one day he goes to the dentist with severe toothache. The dentist - who was well aware of his needle phobia - suggested that the matter could be taken care of with local anesthetic. My teacher, predictably, told him to shove it. The dentist asked my teacher to open his mouth really wide. He then grabbed a needle and injected with one swift motion.
Apparently, six broken ribs hurts quite a lot.
