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 was having new tyres put on my car, when there was an enormous bang - the tyre had exploded while being inflated. The unfortunate mechanic was writhing in agony, hand clutched to his ear - the concussion had ruptured his eardrum. As they led him off towards the local A&E, one of his colleagues uttered the immortal line, "That's the second time that's happened to him in a fortnight..."

*sigh
always, ALWAYS make sure the tyre is seated properly.
Usually once is enough to train mechanics never to do this again. I get very cross with mine if it happens anyway!
