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?

Bit stupid reallyBut I wondered what would happen if I held onto the chuck key of an electric drill and then switched it on. One screamingly agonising nanosecond later and I had a shattered 1st phalanx on my right middle finger. I told my parents I dropped a block of wood on it.
My father - a doctor - saw it was inflating to twice the size and going interesting shades of purple, and advised me to take a couple of aspirin and let the swelling go down, it would be fine the next day.
It wasn't. I spent four weeks with a splinted finger. On the plus side, I got out of homework as I couldn't hold a pen. Result!
