Patient Was Impatient

Bosnian Man Fixed Hospital Machinery

A Bosnian hospital patient spent seven hours repairing hospital machinery - so his operation could go ahead. According to Ananova, doctors had told car mechanic Slobodan Mocevic, 56, his operation to remove a kidney stone was cancelled because of faulty equipment. Mocevic asked to borrow a set of tools and then stripped down and repaired the Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy machine at the hospital in Kasindol. He said: "I was in agony, and there was no way I could have waited any longer." The device removes kidney stones by sending a sonic wave through a patient's body to break up the stone.
