Patient oozes green blood
It was an incident of the real imitating the reel, wherein a 42-year-old man emulated 'Star Trek's' Mr Spock — who had green blood.
A team of Canadian surgeons got a shock when the patient they were operating on began shedding dark greenish-black blood, the Lancet reports.
Instead, the unusual colour of his blood was down to the migraine medication he was taking. The man's leg surgery went ahead successfully and his blood returned to normal once he eased off the drug, BBC News website reported.
The patient had been taking large doses of sumatriptan – 200 milligrams a day.
This had caused a rare condition called sulfhaemoglobinaemia, where sulphur is incorporated into the oxygen-carrying compound haemoglobin in red blood cells
