Hamilton, 22, ordered tea at a drugstore lunch counter, poured the hot water into an inhaler, and while still in the store went into an automatic photo booth and took six pictures of himself injecting the soup into his arm.

The researchers note wryly that hospital personnel spend hours figuring out just what quantity of fluids a patient gets-so why" not pay a little attention to the quality...
