I'll Have What the Lady in the OR Is Having

Details, as if you really need them:

A German woman scheduled for a liver transplant presented herself at the hospital clutching a bottle of vodka, having spectacularly failed to lay off the booze in the six months leading to the op.

According to Spiegel Online (in German), a nurse at the Göttingen University Hospital had to relieve the unnamed frau of her refreshment and pour it on the floor. The patient admitted to quaffing “at least” one bottle a day in the run-up to her appointment with the sawbones, but apparently got a new liver anyway.

My retirement plans pretty much hinge on the perfection of the 3D printed liver, so get on it, science!
