Florida Man Brought Girlfriend Meth to Smoke in Hospital's ICU: Deputies
NBC Miami ^ | 12/7

A Florida man was arrested after authorities say he brought meth to his girlfriend to smoke while she was a patient receiving oxygen in a hospital's intensive care unit.

Scott Allen Burns, 52, was arrested Tuesday on charges of possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia, Hernando County Sheriff's Office officials said. No attorney information was immediately available.

Burns, of Spring Hill, north of Tampa, was arrested after someone called 911 about a person smoking drugs in the ICU at Bayfront Brooksville Hospital, according to a report from WFLA.

Deputies were told that a female patient was seen putting a glass pipe in her mouth and smoking it while she was on oxygen, which is highly flammable, the report said.

Burns, who is the woman's boyfriend and was her only visitor at the hospital, was searched by deputies who found a plastic bag and red straw, which had a substance that field tested positive for meth, the report said.

Smoking near oxygen is nothing to joke about.

and of course crack can cause heart attacks and strokes.

Awww...he was just being thoughtful. What a guy! No cure for stupid, though, for either one of ‘em.

I remember being in my hospital room right after major surgery back in the late 80’s and the woman in the other bed was sneaking smokes from her husband. I was able to get her moved, thank God. The smell was nauseating.

Common mistake, though.

Back in the ‘70s, Dad had minor surgery and his friends brought him a “box of chocolates” that had a dozen mini bottles in it....

Not the same, but in my small peer group it’s a custom to sneak a cold beer into the hospital for new fathers.

Somebody did it for me, and I did it for the next dude.
