Wow good thing my husband is a fire chief with FDNY. If I ever need surgery I'll have him stand at the foot of the stretcher with a fire extinguisher.

The patient died after the surgery but that was due to heart failure and not the fire, said Dr. Robert Caplan, medical quality director of Virginia Mason

Yeah, right.
