Maybe 3-4 centimeters long. Somesort of beetle.

I don't think any of my grossest would compare to these that have been posted already, but I once had to have a LOT of gravel literally dug out of my right knee after wiping out on a bike when I was 9. I was in extreme pain. I feel bad for the doctor who had to fish through a gnarled knee just to take these coarse-salt-grain-sized chunks of gravel out.

about the plane crash... something like that would traumatise me.

When I was about 8 yrs old, I was living in Mongolia (thanks mom and dad!! ). I busted the back of my head open on a old fashion swing set, ie all parts made of cast iron, including the "chains". I went to the best hospital in town, and was waiting to get stiched up, whilest bleeding profusely.

Let me describe the room though, one chair, one desk, one basin with various bloody gause, one cabinet with sore excuses for medical supplies.

This guy ahead of me (see there was a queue) had a bandaged pinky. the doctor unwrapped the pinky finger, and promptly it fell off! Plop, into the basin. It had been severed for some time. So, the bandage when back on, the pinky stayed in basin.

My turn. I sit on the chair, the doc bends my head over the basin. I'm staring straight at a dead, smelly, decomposing pinky finger as he shaves a section of my head off with a single blade razor, and proceeds to sew up my gash with a sewing needle and thread. (No local painkillers either I might add.) Severaly tramatised at 8 years old from this experience.



I'm seriously cringing while writing this.


And on that note, it's time for lunch....

Back then they went over to teach english at a technical university there. Don't ask my why they did this...built character for sure though After Monogolia, we moved to Hong Kong where my father went back into business.
