Never Fart In The O/R
May 14, 2006
A patient's flatulence has been blamed for bringing his hemorrhoid operation to a fiery end. The man suffered minor burns in a brief but dramatic operating theatre fire.
The patient was at the Southern Cross Hospital in Invercargill, New Zealand, to have hemorrhoids removed when the accident happened.
A hospital source said there was a sort of flash fire. The hospital confirmed a fire did occur, and has ordered an investigation.

YIKESORAMA!
I hear that a hemmorhoid recovery is so painful that someone probably wouldn't notice a little pain from a burn. :)
By the way, this is my first time here .Nice blog.
Hahahaha, *snort, Hahahaha! Love it. Sorry for the guy, but totally hilarious!!
Poor guy. As if having hemorrhoid surgery weren't bad enough.
Don Wood: Probably why the airlines stopped serving food - fire hazard!
Black Feline: Or the garlic.
Liz, Wendy: I know, imagine the surprise factor!
Gary: Yeah, the commercial DOES say "the burning, itching, pain of hemmeroids." Maybe that's why!
Brandy: I wonder if the docs and nurses had to laugh. Who could help it?!
