A Patient Farted During Surgery And Started A Big Ol' Fire That Left Her Burned

ST- A patient’s fart during a surgical procedure allegedly sparked a fire which caused her to be seriously burnt, the Tokyo Medical University Hospital in Shinjuku Ward said. The incident was reported in Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun. The fire occurred at the university hospital in Tokyo on April 15. The patient, in her 30s, was undergoing an operation which involved applying a laser to her cervix, the lower part of the uterus. The laser is believed to have been ignited by the gas she passed. The fire burnt much of her body, including her waist and legs, the report said. “When the patient’s intestinal gas leaked into the space of the operation (room), it ignited with the irradiation of the laser, and the burning spread, eventually reaching the surgical drape and causing the fire,” the report said. 

First things first. Girls don’t fart so this story is fake. Secondly, let’s live this obvious lie for a second and say she did fart during surgery and start a fire. It’s not her fault. No human being can be held accountable for farting under those conditions. Mainly because they put you under for surgery and you have no control of your own actions. You instantly become a different person. Same goes for those videos of people coming out of surgery saying crazy and/or racist things. We could probably even extend this to people when they’re black out drunk. I’m sure Mel Gibson would prefer it that way. That’s not on the person who says those things. That’s on God. He/She is the one who designed this body so what happens under anesthesia is on him/her. So while this must’ve been incredibly embarrassing (and painful) for her, she can take solace in the fact that the onus doesn’t fall on her. It falls on the The Big Guy upstairs. But again, girls don’t fart or poop so this story is utter nonsense in the first place.
