Patient Wakes Up From Surgery, Evades Security And Rushes Off To Buy Beer. Photos

This is quite shocking. A hospital patient in Russia escaped from his surgery in search of beer he needed badly. Intensive care nurses refused to serve his favourite brew, so he unplugged his drips, evaded security, and walked out of hospital wearing only a sheet to go in search of alcohol.

The unnamed patient got no more joy at the liquor store. Staff refused his demand for beer and instead called the police, who arrived minutes later. Police found him in -16C weather covering himself with just a bedsheet. Officers escorted him, still wearing the sheet, to a van which drive him back to hospital.
