THIS is perhaps why it's good to have a private hospital room.
A hospitalised woman in Germany has been arrested after allegedly turning off the oxygen supply of a fellow patient twice because it was "too noisy".
Police in the southwestern city of Mannheim issued an arrest warrant for the 72-year-old, with court documents claiming she turned off the main switch of the equipment some time before 8pm on Tue last week "after feeling disturbed by the noise emanating from it".
"Although the suspect was informed by hospital staff that the oxygen supply was a vital measure, she allegedly turned off the device again at around 9pm," the case notes read.
The 79-year-old victim apparently required resuscitation and is still receiving intensive medical care.
A crackdown on drug use in northern Thailand has left a small Buddhist temple empty, after all of the monks tested positive for methamphetamine.
The local sheriff in Bung Sam Phan district, about 220km north of Bangkok, investigated the religious retreat in response to a tip-off from locals.
He found things in somewhat of a disarray, saying the monks' behaviour had given them away as drug users.
"When I inspected the abbot's shelter, I was stunned because it was a mess," he said, with the monks confessing to being longtime addicts after being confronted with the results.
