A hospital patient risked his health and braved sub-zero temperatures after he woke up from surgery – all to grab a BEER. The unnamed patient was in hospital in Sayanogorsk in Khakassia, Russia when he decided to brave temperatures of -16°C.

Although he requested a beer from the nurses, they refused, so he unplugged his drips, evaded security, and walked out of hospital wearing only a sheet to go in search of an off licence. But the unnamed patient got no more joy at the shops. Staff refused his demand for beer, and instead called the police, who arrived minutes later. Officers escorted him, still wearing the sheet, to a van which drove him back to hospital.

The hospital is reviewing its security which was supposed to be on high alert because of a flu epidemic in the region.
