nurse and doctor cook a patient

It's stories like this one that prove that this show sometimes makes up its deaths -- or at the very least, poorly research the facts surrounding the death.

What happened to the guy with the x-ray is pretty much impossible. First of all, this guy was supposedly getting his head x-rayed, and the head is not as prone to radiation poisoning as the rest of the body. It would take a massive dose of radiation to cause such an injury, and an x-ray machine is just not capable of doing the job.

Secondly, an x-ray machine does not deliver that much radiation. By comparison, a cat-scan typically delivers close to a hundred times more radiation to the head, with no ill effects.

So unless the doctor and the nurse were literally going at it all day long, and the patient just sat there the whole time, there is no way this story is true.


It's kind of sad, because some of these stories are so funny a morbid part of me wants them to all be true. But it's glaring hoaxes like these that make it impossible to believe anything they say.
