A patient broke wind while having surgery and set fire to his genitals. The 30-year-old man was having a mole removed from his bottom with an electric knife when his attack of flatulence was ignited by a spark. His genitals, which were soaked in surgical spirits, caught fire.
The man who is suing the hospital, said "when I woke up, my penis and scrotum were burning like hell. Beside the pain, I can't have sex with my wife. The surgeons at the hospital said: "It was an unfortunate accident".
