Tokyo hospital patient is seriously burned when she breaks wind during operation and laser ignites gas | Daily Mail Online
Ay caramba!
A patient in a Tokyo hospital has been left with serious burns after she passed wind during an operation that ignited the laser a surgeon was using during the procedure. The woman, in her 30s, was undergoing surgery at the Tokyo Medical University Hospital which involved a laser being applied to her cervix and lower part of her uterus.
However, as the surgeon carried out the procedure, the patient passed wind as the laser was being used.
It then caused the gas to ignite, sparking a fire, which set her hospital gown and legs ablaze.
She suffered serious burns but is thought to have survived the incident.
Ay caramba!
