A German woman suffered a bad case of pins and needles when staff at an acupuncture clinic forgot about her and went home.

The 25-year-old woman, who has not been named, was lying on a treatment bed behind a screen with needles in her body when the lights went out.

"At first I thought the lights had been turned out to help with the relaxation, but then I heard the front door being locked and everything went silent," she told local media in Karlsruhe.

After her calls for help went unheeded, she said she had no choice but to remove the needles herself before calling emergency services.

"I now know why people are not recommended to try acupuncture at home, it hurts considerably more to take the pins out yourself," she said.source

Wow, I would be really peeved if that happened to me. First off, I don't like needles in me unless they have to be there, and I absolutely hate being in the dark.

WHAT? I would be on a warpath if someone did that to me!

I smell a lawsuit coming and she has every right to take it to them doing that to her is totally unacceptable and shouldn`t go unpunished.

i cant help but laugh.. the person who stabbed her with the needles must have an attention span of a gnat.. how the hell do you forget what you've done? must have been something huge on her mind to just shut up shop and walk out like that... im guessing that lady wont be going back again in a hurry
