Christmas Eve, junior doctor attempting to put in another canula but finding no veins. Eventually threw it down and stormed out of the room saying he refused to do this. Came back and asked me did I want it in the scalp or the breastbone.

Had lots of operations within my first year of life (no cool scars though) and also racked up a considerable number of hospital hours by the age of 4.
Haven't been up at the hospital too often since, though when I have, it was mostly for busted fingers.

Right at the start of the summer, meaning I couldn't go swimming on our yearly holiday.
Fast forward a year and I bust my index finger by knocking a rock onto it and splitting it, meaning I couldn't go swimming yet again. :-(
