EARTHQUAKE HOSPITAL SUICIDE SHOCK. c
A group of patients rescued from the
earthquake in California were discovered carrying out a
bizarre suicide pact yesterday.
By listening in on staff discussions
the four had discovered that all of them needed a heart
transplant in order to survive, but only one heart was
available. Not wanting to leave the decision in the hands
of others they began a twisted game of chance, in order
to decide who received the heart.
"It was a temporary ward," explained
Dr. Bowndes. "There was a mass of wires on the floor that
powered the radios, lamps, ECGs and ventilators by their
beds. They went round, in turn, pulling out one plug at
a time. They had no idea what was plugged in where - it
was Russian Roulette with power plugs."
The nurse who discovered the aftermath
described it as 'like something out of a horror movie.'

This
book is a little like a Turner Prize winning piece of art...
weird but engrossing.
