A guy catches fire during heart surgery -

I just had to post it becase of this quote:

The patient died after the surgery but that was due to heart failure and not the fire,

So, does his wife report this through Medicare, or under her home owners policy?

I hate it when that happens.

The male patient, who was not identified, went up in flames after alcohol poured on his skin was ignited by a surgical instrument.

Damn surgeons drinking in the OR. And using the wrong equipment.

Thats funny and disturbing at the same time. So, is law suit for malpractice or arson?

Experimental disinfection method?

I wonder if all the doctors had a good laugh after they put the fire out. That is just one of those things ya have to wonder. Or am I just fucking sick in the head. Ehh either way.

If that was the case it would be the dumbass doc, or nurse who poured the alcohol and then used the "hot" equipment. The patient didn't have any fault.

That would be my first affirmative defense against the malpractice complaint: Plaintiff's Complaint is barred in whole or in part by the phenomenon of spontaneous human combustion.
