IV patient's a hit

A Chinese man has become an internet sensation by driving around in his car with a catheter pole sticking out of the window.

The patient - nicknamed 'Injection Brother' by fans - was photographed by shocked fellow motorist Zhou Tao before his picture was viewed online more than 100,000 times in just two hours.

Zhou said: "I couldn't believe it when I saw the IV (intravenous) pole sticking out of the window and the driver receiving treatment. At one point I was right next to the man and could see the gauze on his hand where the needle went in.

"Other motorists couldn't believe it either, they were sounding their horns at him. Perhaps they were worried he might fall asleep!"
