"Doctors save man with vodka drip
Australian doctors have kept an Italian tourist alive by feeding him vodka through a drip for three days, medical staff in Queensland say.
The 24-year-old man, who had swallowed a poison in an apparent suicide attempt, was treated while in a coma.
Doctors set up the drip after running out of medicinal alcohol, used as an antidote to the poison."
Reminds me of Jackass(can’t remember if it was the movie or series). There was one skit where Steve-O was walking around town in a hospital gown with an IV of vodka…complete with the rolling IV bag stand.
I’m glad that guy was in a coma…the vodka would’ve put him in that state anyways…lol! Let’s hear it for medicinal spirits! Good for what ails ya.
