Green blood shocker
By admin | June 8, 2007
Surgeons operating on a man were shocked to find he had green blood.
Tests showed he had taken too many of a headache pill called sumatriptan.
He was diagnosed a rare condition in which sulphur from the sumatriptan combined with the blood’s haemoglobin to change its colour.
The 42-year-old smoker had needed an operation on his leg to relieve a circulation problem in Vancouver, Canada, reports The Sun.
