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?

You big girlsI had all 4 of mine taken out under local - no pain, but certainly discomfort. And that nasty cracking sound which seems to be coming from right inside your brain is not nice.
3 were pulled out by a big hairy dentist who specialises in that kind of thing. The first one was pulled by my normal dentist who is about 5 foot nothing and weighs as much as a sparrow's fart. I swear she was kneeling on my chest and pulling at the tooth with both hands to get it out. Or perhaps that's just how I remembered it afterwards.
And my son recently had all 4 out in one go under local. He didn't speak for 24 hours and looked like a hamster who's just lost a boxing match, but didn't complain once.

I think they use something more like "mole grips"?I had a similar experience having a normal tooth removed by a petite girl who was in dental school.
I'm still not sure if she really did kneel on my chest or if it was just my brain trying to comfort me after having half of the anesthetic squirted down my throat instead of into my lymph node.
