Face Ignites During Surgery

It's everyones worst nightmare come to life. You go in for a routine surgery to have some cysts removed and next thing ya know your face is on fire!! Pretty standard stuff really. Kim Grice, 29 from Florida, was treated for 2nd degree burns after a freak accident occurred during her biopsy. Doctors say everything was going smooth when all of a sudden Grice's face lit up. They were able to extinguish the fire but had to immediately treat her for the burns. She was air-lifted to a south Alabama burn unit,
"The fire department described the incident as a "flash fire" and hospital officials have no idea what caused it, though malfunctioning electrical equipment could be to blame. Grice told her mom, "They woke me up and every one around me was hysterical. I don't know what happened to me."
