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?

Huge ovarian cysts...
One on each ovary thanks to Endometriosis... the larger one on my right ovary burst, causing pain and vomiting similar to appendicitis, which is what was diagnosed...
Four days on a surgical ward waiting for a theatre to become available, liquid morphine didn't even touch the pain. Waves of griping, cramping agony coming and going every minute or so for four days.
The surgery they ballsed up. I now have a foot long scar from just above my rubiks to between my charlies.. and a four inch diagonal one on the right side of my tummy where they went in looking for the appendix that never was.
I reckon morphine just doesn't work on me....
