Not really a 'procedure' but it happens a lot on the wards, especially during pimping and it definately is unpleasant.

Floccinoccinihilifipilification

I'll leave that up to any fellow wordnerds out there to decode. I just dare you. 😀
 
Cystourethrogram looked and sounded pretty painful...not to mention when I saw the bladder get over distended with contrast that the fluid shot out wildly when the syringe was withdrawn....you gotta learn on someone.

If I never see another penis being repeatedly invaded by rubber bougies of increasing diameters, it will be too soon.

bone marrow biopsy. Oh yeah, the name doesn't sound bad, but the noises made by the patient during the procedure are awful, sounds like a person getting knifed to death!
 
It's a well-known procedure, but Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) just sounds awful everytime I hear it.

Doesn't sound too, too bad, but one of the grossest things I have ever experienced as a medical student:

I&D of perirectal abscess.

This is the one smell that almost caused me to lose my breakfast... :scared:

The way our Pathology professor described it was probably as bad as the procedure, what with the "bone spicules with tiny nerve endings being ripped from their moorings," and the "tiny infarcts happening every millisecond." And, of course, the mention that there was really no way to keep it from hurting.
