The Royal Abderdeen Children's Hospital in Scotland has an infestation !

The modern looking hospital SEE HERE obviously has busy flies.

Credit goes to Health Service Journal for errrr.... Sniffing this one out  :

Operations have been cancelled and emergency procedures adopted because of an infestation of maggots at the Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital.

Scotland’s health minister Nicola Sturgeon has demanded that Grampian health trust minimises disruption and makes sure it does not happen again.

Seven operations were postponed and four procedures carried out in accident and emergency after three operating theatres were closed.

Maggots can be beneficial and are used nowadays in some hospital to accelerate the healing of wounds. 

They are also rich in protein.  

Hum... Maybe not.
