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?

Well yes that is an utterly horrible thing to happenAnd with the right safeguards in place, it shouldn't have happened. Like I said, that's how it's supposed to work in theory. In practice (and again going from what I know of the sector I've had experiance with) either the person responsible for writing the risk assesments was lazy and/or incompetant or understaffing and underfunding lead to a situation that allowed the accident to happen.
