OK, some of you may remember this thread:

Well, I can top it. This week we had a woman in the burn unit. 52 years old, her face was pretty burned up. I did my x-ray, and then asked the nurse about her. Seems she is on oxygen therapy, like the aforementioned guy in the thread above. She is a smoker. Apparently she just couldn't do without either - and couldn't wait for one to be done before engaging in the other. Lit up, while on her O2 - burned herself bad. The kicker?

This is the SECOND time she has done this!

God is talking to her, but she ain't listening.

Darwin is definitely playing with this idiot.

There really should be a law describing criminal stupidity and providing for punishment for it, but
as we know, stupidity is its own reward...or punishment.

Had a guy a few years ago who was an alkie with a 2 pack a dy habit, which led him to some form of COPD, so he was on home O2 from a liquid O2 tank for several years.

You can really enrich the already combustible furniture in your house if you are on home O2... after all, polystyrene & polyeurethane foam is really just "puffy oil".

When the wife & daughter left to go shopping one afternoon, he got a good buzz going and fell asleep on the couch while smoking.

They came home to find us saving their house.

We couldn't do the same for him.

Like when the stewardesses used to tell you to extinguish your cigarette before putting the emergency oxygen mask on.

I think i read it on here, but i read a similar story where a guy was on o2 and tried to light his cig off the pilot light of the stove. Set off the o2 bottle, which set off the gas line to his house. He didnt make it.

We use to have a regular patient who did the same thing. His hair was three different colors from the three cadavers that donated it to him.

You know, if it wasn't for the obvious possibility of the government taking advantage of it, I'd say we should have a test that people have to take before they're allowed to have children.

It used to be, the stupid people would get kill themselves or do something causing someone or something else to do it for them. Now, they get to live on the dole. You don't have to be an idiot to be down on your luck. But only an idiot would have a dozen children when they can't even pay their own bills, and that's exactly what they do. Hear that sound? If you listen closely, you can hear the world's population getting stupider by the moment.
