Doctors save man with vodka drip

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.

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

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
