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?

Pins and NeedlesThe year was 1983 and as usual my younger brother and me were having a fight. However, this one didn't end with the usual parental interference.
Instead, my brother screamed in pain as his arm had landed on a strange, headless pin sticking from the carpet. He removed the pin and nothing more was thought of it...until 12 months later, my right knee started swelling up and hurting quite a lot. The doctor said it was "fluid on the knee" and sent me for an x-ray.
As the doctor examined the x-ray, The doctor had a very confused look as he asked me if I had any idea why I appeared to have half a needle in my knee. I recalled the fight with my brother and the pin he landed on, which must've been a needle that snapped in half, the other half finding the it's way into my knee.
The back of my knee was sliced open in hospital a few weeks later and the now rusty needle was removed. Not all bad though, it got me off PE for over a year!
