Mine :
When I was 6 I had pleurisy (I think that's how it's spelt, but that's beside the point) which is like triple pneumonia. Anyway, point is that they had to extract some tissue from me. I thought that it was going to be a quick-in, quick out job on my leg or somesuch, but what they actually had to do was extract a tissue sample FROM MY LUNGS by putting a needle in my back for about 3 minutes.
Having a needle in your back at the best of times is unpleasant, but when in has to travel through your ribcage too so that they could get a marrow sample is even worse.
What made it EVEN WORSE is that they couldn't use a local anaesthetic on me, due to my age, and having a total anaesthetic would have been 'impractical' for 5 minutes of pain.
Now have a fear of needles, with good reason.
Oh also your baseball bat story is nowt. I got hit with a cricket ball in the knackers by an adult player (I play for an adults' team despite being 14 at the time) without a cup on due to me fielding not batting. I actually collapsed and there was like blood everywhere.
Haven't played since surprisingly enough.
Although thankfully it's all intact and stuff. It was just bruised for about 4 weeks, the cut healed quickly. Glad I was on holiday or people would kick me in the knackers to make it hurt more (like people slapping your shoulders when they're burnt etc.)
