In October 2005, at St Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, doctors were inserting an arterial line into a 42-year old patient to relieve pressure in his legs after falling asleep in a kneeling position when they were startled to see dark green blood trickle out of the patient instead of the usual bright red.
