SUV Crashes into Operating Room During Surgery Bananas!
Yahoo's got an article about an SUV crashing into an operating room in New Jersey. The surgeon in the room was providing cataract surgery to a patient.
"No one was injured, but Dr. Bernard Spier said that if the accident had happened moments earlier, it could have hurt the patient's eye.

Spier had removed the cataract and had just used a plunger to implant a silicone lens when the crash threw him onto the partially sedated patient.

'The plunger could have done some damage,' he told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Wednesday's newspapers.

Police said Floyd Hunt Jr., 77, of Newark, was trying to back his Toyota 4Runner out of a parking space outside the operating room, but failed to put the car into reverse.

The front end of the red sport utility vehicle smashed through a wall and stopped just inches from doctor and patient when its back tires snagged on a curb.

The vehicle bent steel beams, buckled the ceiling and damaged a $70,000 ultrasound machine used to remove cataracts, the newspaper reported."
If the SUV was able to go through the wall, it would have had to have gained some speed...how would you not notice you were going the wrong way long enough to plow through a wall?!? You'd have to blindly shift into drive and slam on the gas. That or the operating room is in the middle of a parking lot.

    perhaps the operating room walls are made of the same paper that the medical gowns are made of
