Hospital gives man drip-feed of vodka (AP)
BRISBANE, Australia (AP) - Doctors plugged an Italian tourist into a drip-feed of vodka to save him at a hospital in Australia that ran out of the pharmaceutical-grade alcohol it would normally have used for treatment.
Alcohol is given to counteract toxic poisoning with ethylene glycol (antifreeze). What a way to kill yourself!
