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?

YuckI used to work with a guy whose brother had lost both forearms in exactly this kind of accident, though it was in a woodcutting situation rather than a paper place. His immediate reaction was to try to pick up his forearms. He committed suicide a couple of years later. Very sad. His brother - the guy I knew - never got over it.

This medium sized guillotine......gives you an idea of the blades' action. (This one is semi-automated though).

I'm not surprisedI never met someone who this had happened to, someone just casually told me about it while I was waiting for them to finish a cutting job for me. And that was 5 years ago or more, and it's still etched in my memory. It's a terrifying prospect. Sympathies to your friend, and his late brother.
