The staff at Jamnagar's state-run GG Hospital on Thursday prevented a fire sparked from a lighted bidi from snowballing into a major tragedy by dousing it in time, reports Nimesh Khakhariya. The incident was caused by a patient who was so desperate for a puff that he forgot he was on oxygen support in the respiratory intermediate care unit (RICU). Sources said the man, who was admitted for respiratory and cardiac illness, got someone to sneak in a bidi for him.
