Comments Happy Friday, everyone! It's time for another round of
comments.  Anxious for sleep in an intensive care ward, a German
teenager unplugged the funny, beeping machine that his immediate
neighbour didn't seem to be using for much. It was a pity that
it happened to be the patient's life support system, but heroic
hospital staff were soon on the scene to avert catastrophe.
Sounds like a variation of the old "Cleaning Lady Unplugs ICU
Machines" legend.  In this version of the story, staff were
alerted in time, which could mean that it is actually true, or
it could mean that the tale-fabricator is just more
sophisticated than the usual tall-tale-teller.  (Life support
machines would surely have battery-powered alarms that sound off
if power is interrupted, which is why the original legend is
clearly male bovine excrement.)
