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?

Crohns all the wayHowever due to fucking GP's and the fact that it was flare and go, flare and go wasn't diagnosed properly until I was down to 6 stone, with a section of fused bowel and obstructed.
From my experience, sigmoidoscopy. Not pleasant in the extreme. Steroids do the job until you start bouncing off the walls. Pethidene is your friend.
Oh and for anyone reading this, wallops pain description is on the U / PG side. Imagine the worst food poisoning you have ever had. Loop and splice. Turn all the way up to 11, and you ain't close. I wanted to punch my head through a wall to stop teh hurt.
As for the best story about bowel examinations I have read. Google Blu-tone and picolax. Read and shit yourself laughing
