You could bust a gut laughing at what's going on at some hospitals. Here's a look at bizarre hospital news across the world.

Henry Marsh, an eminent neuro-surgeon at Britain's St George's hospital, has been performing complex brain operations using a cheap, do-it-yourself cordless power drill at a clinic in Ukraine, according to
