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?

AppendixApologies for lack of funnies.
I was on holiday in 2004 when I had an excrutiating stomach pain. I thought I had swallowed too much chlorinated water however I went back to the hotel room and spewed up all over.
Luckily my Mum knew it was something a bit more than a bug and called a doctor and I was promptly moved to a hospital in Benalmadena. Couldn't speak a word of Spanish and had to sign an agreement which could have said 'You agree for us to remove a kidney' for all I know. The waiting was agony. After removed I felt much better but every time I walked around I felt like the stitches were going to burst and blood spew out all over. That is the single most painful experience of my life.
Oh, apart from when the sadistic dentist felt it necessary to prod a metal probe into a cavity touching the inside, UNANAESTHETISED. My friend waiting downstairs said the whole waiting room looked frightened when I screamed.
But in the end it worked out quite well, we got an extra week in a luxury hotel courtesy of the insurance company.
