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?

Not me, but my mate's dad
In his youth had a motorbike. I dunno what it was, but it would've been the mid to late 60s. He was tearing along on it and was approaching a humpback bridge. He managed to gain air, not much, but he left the road. But, upon landing, his bike went from under him. He slid along the road, his femur snapping clean through and part of it burst out of the front of his thigh just above his knee and he eventually ground to a halt with a small amount of tarmac stuck onto the severed end of the bone. It had actually scraped along the road surface, gathering some up in the process.
He spent a good many weeks in traction and even now still walks with a limp as one of his legs is slightly shorter than the other.
