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?

I'm sure other Dads will identify with thisA couple of Christmas' ago, we bought our daughter a small battery-powered quad bike.
As is the norm, I forgot all about it until Xmas morning when I was called upon to assemble the bugger as quickly as possible.
Bypassing the instructions, I assembled it according to what 'looked right' only to find out when I'd finished that there were two sets of wheels both of slightly different size. Having already incorrectly hammered them into place, I retreat to the instructions to be informed that I should take extra care assembling the wheels as once they're on, they cannot be removed. Gah!
This is now 30 minutes into assembly and junior BinDipper is getting restless. I ignore the instructions and using the back of the hammer try to prise all four wheels off. I'm successful with three, but the fourth is proving stubborn, so ensuring no-one is near I put all my effort into it and promptly imbed the claw of the hammer into my kneecap.
Unimaginable pain, and my god the screaming.
Turns out none of the family is surprised, as I have a habit of being useless at such things.
