Title: Doctors save man with vodka drip
Post by: Foxy Brown on October 12, 2007, 06:25:41 AM

Australian doctors have kept an Italian tourist alive by feeding him vodka through a drip for three days, medical staff in Queensland say.

The 24-year-old man, who had swallowed a poison in an apparent suicide attempt, was treated while in a coma.

Doctors set up the drip after running out of medicinal alcohol, used as an antidote to the poison.  (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7037443.stm)

This is radical to hear.  Applause for the doctor for good improvisation.

I'm reminded of a scene from Harold & Kumar when they're in the hospital during surgery and asking for marijuana :lol:

I can just imagine these doctors yelling "WE NEED TO GET THIS MAN VODKA!! like a few bottles... HURRY!!" and the nurses just stare at them blankly XD
