Mechanic fixes Machine Needed for Operation


Sarajevo - A Bosnian hospital patient spent seven hours repairing machinery so that his operation could go ahead.
Doctors had told car mechanic Slobodan Mocevic, 56, that his operation to remove a kidney stone was cancelled because of faulty equipment.
Mocevic asked to borrow a set of tools and then stripped down and repaired the Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy machine at the hospital in Kasindol.
He said: "I was in agony, and there was no way I could have waited any longer."
The device removes kidney stones by sending a sonic wave through a patient's body to break up the stone. - Ananova.com

Next time I'm in Sarajevo, I'll be sure to look this guy up. I can get a tune up and a check up at the same time.Eunice99
