I don't have the time to get sick. But I have injured myslf hundreds of times. A more painfull one was during the summer:

I was doing some construction work to make some money (working on some leaky condo downtown), and we were putting on the Tyvek paper with Hammer tackers (pretty much a hammer that staples). If youve ever worked with a hammer tacker, you'll know that you've gotta hit with a lot of force to get the staples to be flush with the sheathing, so that the Hardy-plank guys behind u dont have to flush them up.

Well, we were behind schedule, and it was enar the end of the day, so we were really trying to hustle to make the deadline. I don't know why I was trying to go so fast, but as I was smoothing the paper out with my left hand and tacking with my right, I tacked right over my hand. Now, if this was just the staple in my hand, it wouldn't have been so painfull. I hadn't noticed how hard i was swinging that tacker untill I hit my hand because I ended up with my finger being broken in 3 places ( I hit it right on the knuckle) and a staple all the way into my finger...

My middle finger nail fell off a week later and I still have dried blood under my nail.

EDIT: Oh and when the frist aid guys saw it he said he might have to 'drill the nail' (this consists of drilling into my fingernail with a red hot drill bit to ease the pressure of the blood). When I told him to go f*** himself he wasn't drilling sh**, he backed off.
