Hmpfh. Probably a fellow addict. That or he somehow snuck it in prior to being hospitalized.

How did he apply the cigarette anyway? Did he putit in one of those plugs where you normally add infusions / oxygen supply?

I hear that in hospitals you can see people smoking after they had surgeries on cancer of the throat. they apply it to the breathing holes cut into their throats. Bon appetit.

If a guy on oxygen lights his farts would he blow his ass off?

[chequita guevara]

No.

Depending on how much oxygen he swallows instead of inhales, he could set his ass on fire.

Anybody got a light?

I once had a patient in a hospital in Danville, VA, The gut was an alcoholic with COPD and GI bleeding. He was on oxygen so I ordered no smoking in his room. I called in a gastroenterologist to consult on the GI bleeding. The GI doc came out of the room and asked me to rescind the order against smoking. When I refused, pointing out that the guy was in an oxygen tent, the GI doc rebuked me for violating the guys rights!

So his body would so efficiently use the inhaled oxygen that his farts would not be explosive? Bummer. There's just no fun anymore.

1. Methane is already explosive, but farts aren't voluminous enough to produce the kind of engery needed to blow off someone's ass.

Inhaled oxygen won't do anything for intestinal gasses. It doesn't go to the same place. Intestinal gasses are produced from swallowed air and from bacteria in your gut. It doesn't come from what you breathe.

Your body wouldn't be more flamable for being super-oxygenated, since that oxygen is already bound up. What you swallow and pass would be flamable, but again, since farts aren't that big, at best, he'd set his ass on fire.

"at best, he'd set his ass on fire."

We can only hope for the best.

There was a guy living in an apartment building where I was living while I was in college who could light his farts up on demand. Then again as Dean Wormer once said: "Son, fat, lazy and stupid is no way to go through life."

not that this matters but what is a nonremovable o2 mask? I have never seen one all the ones i have seen are removable which means patient can take it off and walk around with out it. And im sure the compassionte soul that gave it to him was a loving family memeber. they do stupid **** all the time. I had a patient in congestive heart failure with fluid restrictions and no pain meds casue his blood pressure was like 80/40 i walk in to assess the guy the daughter is giving dad a vicodin she brought from home with a 20 oz soda that he drank half of already. families can be alot of times with sick members in the hospital
