Hospital sued over man's deadly faint

Didn't Mr. Slim have a habit of posting bizarre deaths on here awhile ago?? This one just makes me have to take up the habit now. And it sounds so horrible, but I've got to admit I felt like laughing at first when I heard this one.



LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A California woman is suing a hospital for wrongful death because her husband fainted and suffered a fatal injury after helping delivery room staff give her a pain-killing injection.

In June 2004, Passalaqua's husband, Steven Passalaqua, was asked by Kaiser staff to hold and steady his wife while an employee inserted an epidural needle into her back, court papers said.

The sight of the needle caused Steven Passalaqua, 33, to faint and he fell backward, striking his head on an aluminum cap molding at the base of the wall....

That's pretty bad, but the worst I remember was the man who was killed by a lava lamp last year.

I don't know if it was already posted, but some guy put his lava lamp on the stove (never heat a closed container kids) and the pressure caused an explosion, driving a shard of glass into his heart.

I believe this story was featured on the Darwin Awards site.

And to think, here I've been saving money on lava lamp lightbulbs all these years by just placing my lamp on the stove burner. Guess I won't do that anymore...
