I did that once last year (not that bad tho) and now if I fish plugs with multiple trebles I ALWAYS have a lip gripper on me to avoid it ever happening again. It just takes that one twich from the fish to bury a treble in your hand!
I have done that a few times but not a problem as all my barbs are crushed.Just grit teeth and pull and then that sigh of relief then make another cast.

only time I had to have a doc remove a hook was very similar to that... walking up some rocks with rod and plug in hand.... slipped and landed on said hand holding plug.... had to drive to hospital with a 10 in. bomber attached... standard truck to boot.....
