Shit. I Can't Even Think of a Joke To Go With This One

RE: Shit. I Can't Even Think of a Joke To Go With This One
I read the article.

Fart was deemed the cause by (supposedly) ruling out everything else. And the burning injuries were from the surgical drape (supposedly) ignited by the ignition of the fart by the laser.


Call me skeptical, but the absorption of energy by a transparent gaseous fart by a visible light laser (I don't actually know that, BTW) would be negligible.

Wouldn't a surgical laser need to be a visible wavelength so the surgeon could see what the heck he's doing with it? An IR laser strikes me as something that would be very difficult to use skillfully. But maybe I'm wrong.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

What do you want to know? I mean I don't need a doctor to know that a laser is perfectly capable of lighting a fart. It's only the abundance of laser fart lighting stories that makes me a skeptic. There's even a cow and vet story haunting the web.

Also, Snopes suggests it's real (or, at least, that it's been recently reported by an actual newspaper and is not an old legend)

Investing in a fuckload of baked beans and medical lasers if they've got their wits about 'em.

It's getting reported that often that I have my doubts. I've read the same story time and time again. At one point even involving a cow, as I said.

That's why I consider it a running joke and not real news. One might think that docotrs wisen up in terms of the possibility that their patient rips one and are extra careful. But no, these stories surface again and again.

And it's because of inconsiderate women like this that we're no longer allowed to smoke during surgery!
