Drunken man has a surprise for doctors

Sofia, Bulgaria - Incredulous doctors made five blood tests on a drunken man to confirm he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.914, far above the usual life-threatening range, police and doctors said on Tuesday.

The 67-year-old man, whose name was not released, was treated in hospital on December 20, when a car knocked him down on a street in the southern Bulgarian city of Plovdiv.

A breath test showed high blood alcohol level, but police officers thought the result was inaccurate, because the man was conscious and talked with them, said Colonel Angel Rangelov, head of police in Plovdiv.

Laboratory analysis of five subsequent blood samples taken the same day confirmed that the man had had a 0.914 blood alcohol content, Rangelov said. An 0.55 blood-alcohol level is usually considered as life-threatening.

Dr Svetlan Dermendzhiev of Plovdiv’s University hospital told state news agency BTA he had not seen such a high level.

The man was reported in stable condition after treatment for head injuries.
