Patient having op on backside breaks wind, causing fire

A Danish man having surgery on his backside broke wind and set his genitals alight.

A surgeon was removing a mole on his backside with an electric knife when the man broke wind, lighting a spark.

His genitals had been washed with surgical spirits and caught fire.

He's suing the hospital for pain and suffering and loss of income.

He says he had to take extra time off work and can't have sex with his wife. The hospital says it was an unfortunate accident.

"When I woke up, my * and scrotum were burning like hell," the man told Danish Newspaper BT.

Surgeon Dr Jorn Kristensen said: "No-one considered the possibility the man would break wind during the operation, let alone that it would catch fire. It was an unfortunate accident."

The 30-year-old patient said: "I've had to be booked off work for longer than expected and, besides the pain, I can't have sex with my wife."

The operation which was being carried out at the Kjellerups hospital, was aborted immediately after the accident.

Reports says it's unlikely the doctor will face disciplinary action.

    I can just see the new instructions for surgical patients:

    WARNING: consuming beer, eggs, beans or other products likely to produce gastro-intestinal gases prior to surgery can be hazardous to your health.

    This patient had to be a half wit anyway - make a private claim and avoid publicity - who would want to be known as a flaming fart the rest of their lives?

    Now it turns out the fire was extinguished with a co2 extinguisher, he may have suffered freezer burn. WoW...

    He ought to be happy they didn't try to beat the fire out, with a stick.

    I was laughing out loud on this one, too. But to be honest, I once did cause a stampede out of a tent.... but never caused a fire.

    Why is it that passing gas causes so much laughter? Well, at least from guys....

    I thought everybody knew at least one kid who thought it was funny to light his f*rts with a lighter or a match. Obviously, that's methane coming out of there, so it's not all that hard to do. It's just not very couth when done on purpose. I doubt it was big news to the doctors that this was theoretically possible. Maybe they'll be more careful in future with incendiaries around flatulence. The next one could take out a whole operating room.
