More Things to Worry About

It only happens to 600 patients a yr (out of 50m surgeries), but jeez, 600 patients catching fire in the OR? (Bonus: Oxygen makes it like a blowtorch.) WBAL-TV (Baltimore) via WMTW-TV (Portland, Maine)

London's Daily Mail found a man who said he was forced to yank out 13 teeth with his pliers because he couldn't find a gov't dentist. (Bonus: He smiled for the camera.) (Double Bonus: "It didn't hurt as much as you might think.") Daily Mail

In Nova Scotia, Penny Boudreau confessed to strangling her only daughter, 12, supposedly because her boyfriend Vernon MacCumber gave her the ultimatum, her or me (and as you can see by the photo, what woman wouldn't sacrifice her only child for a cutie like Vernon?). Daily Mail (London)

Most Undignified Death: He lost control of his car near Los Banos, Calif.; it rolled down a hill; he survived and climbed back to the highway; another driver ran over him. Modesto Bee

A man robbed two convenience stores in Colorado Springs last week within an hour of each other, wielding a small sword, and the thing is, both clerks independently told police that they recognized the sword as a "bat'leth," a Klingon sword, from Star Wars. KMGH-TV (Denver)

Fire in the O.R.: 🐛

At the risk of appearing like a total geek:
Klingons were on Star Trek, not Star Wars;
The "sword" was way too small to be a bat'leth;
This robber should now go commit the customary klingon suicide for having no honor;
Captain Picard rocks the house!(I just felt that needed to be put out there)

Awww... It's a little baby bat'leth, how cute. I can't believe that they gave up money for that moron.

Baby Bat'leth The dude is guilty of casting aspersions on Star Trek.

Ultimatum The guy looks like he'd crack mirrors but his name is MacCumer so one needs to wonder what she sees in (on?) him?

13 teeth And who's pulling for socialized medicine?
