Chinese surgery patient dies as doctors flee fire
26th August 2011
A man in China was left to die on the operating table after his doctors fled from a fire that had broken out in the next-door room, a hospital official in Shanghai admitted on Friday.
Let’s hear it for government-run health care.

And of course that would NEVER happen under our wonderful system, would it? We specifically add a “in case of fire I’ll finish” clause to the Hippocratic Oath over here.
I propose a test: let’s set fire to the room next to RealRick’s surgery and see if the doctors stick around to finish.
