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?

Repeating accident
I used to get the train to school, and once or twice a year would see the exact same accident and it was always the same type of person, a woman aged around 50+. This was back in the day of British rail and the old slam door trains, there is a yellow line painted along the platform edge, which is slightly further than the doors can open. Most people have the common sense to stand behind the line as a train with doors swinging open approches the platform. But these old women clearly dont have much common sense and you already know whats going, SMACK, years of bad posture and a slight hunch back means the head sticks forward further than the rest of the body. Id always see the same women with the same injury, a big dent right across the face completely knocked out on the floor. I also think this was before the day of no win no fee, always stand behinf the line.
