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?

another story just reminded meI had a dentist visit about 3 weeks ago and was given a filling. It was my first ever, so the effects of the anesthetic were unknown to me. Heading home my mouth was droopy. I had no feeling in my lips at all and to wobble them like dead slugs seemed amusing to me, as were attempts at drinking liquid, which would just run down my chin, and eating as i literally couldn't tell if the food was in my mouth. I was assured it would wear off in a few hours. And it did. and i was in agony. desperately checking in the mirror what on earth had happened I see a massive piece of bloody flesh hanging off the inside of my lip. While attempting to eat an apple on anesthetic, I was eating my bottom lip.
EDIT: Im not sure that this story is receiving the attention it deserves. It was massive bloody chunk of lip!

This is whyyou're meant to wait for the anaesthetic to wear off before drinking a hot drink or eating anything much more solid than yoghurt.
