Patient having op on backside breaks wind, causing fire
A Danish man having surgery on his backside broke wind and set his genitals alight.
A surgeon was removing a mole on his backside with an electric knife when the man broke wind, lighting a spark.
His genitals had been washed with surgical spirits and caught fire.
He's suing the hospital for pain and suffering and loss of income.
He says he had to take extra time off work and can't have sex with his wife. The hospital says it was an unfortunate accident.
"When I woke up, my penis and scrotum were burning like hell," the man told Danish Newspaper BT.
Surgeon Dr Jorn Kristensen said: "No-one considered the possibility the man would break wind during the operation, let alone that it would catch fire. It was an unfortunate accident."
The 30-year-old patient said: "I've had to be booked off work for longer than expected and, besides the pain, I can't have sex with my wife."
The operation which was being carried out at the Kjellerups hospital, was aborted immediately after the accident.
Reports says it's unlikely the doctor will face disciplinary action.

Besides being in poor health, the most common complaint of the Vegans in his practice, "Doctor, I have this terrible problem with gas. I'm just so gassy all the time.!"
His reply, "So are cows, which only eat grass and corn!"
He then tells them if they just eat complex carbo hydrates, they will produce gas like cows and have a gas problem 24/7. He can't do anything if they only eat like a cow.
Bwahahahaha!
What I meant to say was, I am deeply saddened.
Jumpin Jack Flash..It's a GAS GAS GAS!!!
Anybody know how to say "Dude! He's farting fire!" in Danish?
Bwahaha
Semper Fi!
then one afternoon in the middle of a matinee, she went poot, poot, poot...
I might have survived it but I laughed instead...
as I said I once had a girlfriend!!
My Irish Grandmother once told me "it is better to fart and bear the shame, than to hold the fart and bear the pain!!"
I always took that as good advice!!
