From a newspaper clipping:
Denmark: A patient broke wind while having surgery and set fire to his genitals. The 30-year-old man was having a mole removed from his bottom with an electric knife when his attack of flatulence was ignited by a spark. His genitals, which were soaked in surgical spirits, caught fire. The man, who is sueing the hospital, said: ‘When I woke up, my penis and scrotum were burning like hell. Besides the pain, I can’t have sex with my wife.’ Surgeons at the hospital in Kjellerups said: ‘It was an unfortunate accident.’
