Yep i know, the poor lass will be knackered fer life, Me point is its too easy fer kids to be attracted to new fangled ideas, most of us were stupid n had no thought fer danger when young.

It was probably lucky that she was in Oscar's bar which is only a few hundred metres from the hospital in Lancaster. Getting there quickly probably helped to save her life.

The O2 that's piped around the hospital is pure, but it has a non-rebreathe valve.
