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?

OK I'll get this in quick..
..before this QOTW disappears.
In no particular order:
Being treated for six months for 'eczema'.... Turned out to be scabies. Trying to sleep, trying to work, tears of constant irritation. Thanks Mr crappy GP!
Cutting the top third off my right middle finger while oiling a bike chain... got finger cought betwixt chain and crank, all the way round -beauty. Pints of blood and 9 hours of surgery later.
Taking the bandages off for the first time 3 days after my circumcision. Ouch as well as a liberal helping of throwing my ring up at the sight of the poor little chap.
Running into a taxi door head first while off my head. Neck really hurt for about two weeks after, but financially painful as the first thing I knew about it was two days later when an irate taxi driver came round with mobile photo evidence and wanted 500 quid on the spot not to go to the police.
Running through our plate glass front door when runnning away from mum trying to make me wear my eyepatch as a kid (see username). Anyway, 17 stiches over my head, one of which has given me my lovely 'Nike' tick across the bridge of my nose, and my earliest memory of being wrapped up by a nurse in a blanket. Couldn't watch Carrie for quite a while...
edit: Last!?

Mmm Scabies!!!
Yep scabies can be shite! I caught it from my then landlord's sofa and he being a GP had caught it of a patient! Not nice! Me and my then lady spent ages covering each other with some king of cream.
