So a bloke goes into hospital with a skin disease.
He is treated with a special gel which covers his skin and is supposed to ease his skin complaint.
He is under stress because he hopes the treatment will work so he nips out onto the fire escape to have a fag to calm his nerves.
Nobody has told him that the gel is highly inflammable.
Bloke literally goes up in smoke as he sparks up his fag.
Doctors try to save him from severe burns - they fail.
Bloke dies of severe burns.
Unfortunately this is a true story. It actually happened in a hospital in Yorkshire. I haven't given names - it's not necessary and would only give more pain to relatives.
Smoking is a killer anyway without adding unnecessary additional risks by not telling the patient that he is a living roman candle.
