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?

Chemical burns all over my lapI used to work with industrial power solvents. Occasionally I'd get a drop on my skin and I'd tough it out (the sensation is honestly like someone holding a lighter to your skin and lasts about a minute before tapering off).
Once I managed to spill about 3 or 4 litres on my midriff (including the family jewels) and went into shock. My motor skills virtually shut-down on the way to the chemical shower, I felt like I was on fire, it was excruciating.
The pain also scrambled my thinking so I couldn't make the simple operation of turning on the chemical shower. In the end I just tore off all my clothes and washed myself in the sink (which brought instant relief).
Oh how I laughed :(
p.s. luckily there was no lasting scarring. I had a 50pence sized chemical burn on my hip but it scabbed over and repaired itself as usual.
