The man suffered minor burns in a brief but "dramatic" operating theatre fire. He had gone into the Southern Cross Hospital in Invercargill to have hemorrhoids, or piles, removed and was singed in the "exceedingly rare" incident involving his own gas.
'This was thought to be flatus containing methane igniting,' a health source told the Weekend Herald. "There was a sort of flashfire and that was it, but it was fairly alarming at the time."
