AS FIREGEEZER READERS HAVE SEEN, IT’S A WORLD-WIDE PROBLEM.  Today’s episode comes from Harare, Zimbabwe.

At the Chitungwiza Central Hospital a meningitis patient jumped into an ambulance that was at the loading dock and drove off with its patient still in the back.

The allAfrica Media reports:

Eyewitnesses say the patient shook off two male nurses who were looking after him, jumped into the ambulance parked at the hospital and sped off. The driver of the ambulance - which belongs to Marondera Hospital — had left the keys in the ignition while looking for a stretcher to carry a patient he had brought to Chitungwiza Central Hospital when all hell broke loose.

 The thief drove straight to his parents’ home where the police tracked him down quickly.

The ambulance driver had left the engine running so he could use the lights from the headlamps because the hospital has no electricity.  Times are tough in Zimbabwe.
