Surgeons accused of filming 'canned laughter'

Surgeons at a hospital in the Philippines are under fire for allegedly filming an operation to remove a can of body spray from a male patient's bottom.

The video, which was posted for several weeks on YouTube, showed dozens of people inside the operating room laughing as the surgeons removed the canister.

A spokesman for the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Centre in Cebu City, said it planned to apologise to the 39-year-old patient for what happened.

An investigation was being conducted. The patient, a florist, said he got drunk and paid an unidentified man 100 pesos ($3) for sex.
