Tigermike 3,053 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Patient turns off life-support because it 'kept him awake'Friday, June 22, 2007 Life-support machine 'too noisy' A teenager has turned off the life-support machine of a fellow hospital patient because he said he couldn't sleep with the noise. Frederik Moelner's attempts to get some kip were interrupted by the noisy machine that was keeping the 76-year-old in the neighbouring bed breathing. So the 17-year-old, who ended up in the intensive care ward after he was involved in a car crash decided to turn it off, reports Ananova. Luckily medical staff at the hospital in Southern Germany quickly realised what had happened, and reconnected the lucky pensioner who survived. They then contacted local police who are now investigating. http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?...amp;ito=newsnow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BZ770 2 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I got stuck in the East Al Med Ctr in Opelika while at Auburn, and I had a double room. I stayed there for a week and had 4 neighbors and can vouch for the curtain does not block the noise of a person getting his throat vacuumed out. BTW I missed the 1997 SEC Champ game, and sold my ticket for the $40 face value to a friend. A girl offered me $100 for the ticket in class just a few days earlier.
