Read the story about the world’s first pregnant man! At least his urine tests say so.
Egyptian doctors were shocked after a male bus driver who was randomly chosen for health check up as part of the country’s routine drugs tests appeared to be “pregnant”.
An unnamed bus driver’s urine sample along with other public bus drivers was examined for the presence of drugs and alcohol – whereupon the truth was revealed…
Instead of using his own urine, the tricky man submitted his wife’s urine and the tests showed that that his wife was actually two months pregnant.
Later officials asked the man to confirm the sample was his own. When he agreed, they allegedly responded: “Congratulations you’re pregnant.”
From now on, the Public Transport Authority (PTA) will require a blood test as well as a urine sample, confirms a source at the PTA hospital. It is hoped that this will prevent employees from attempting to fake their samples.
Egypt loses about 12 000 lives due to road traffic crashes every year. It has a road traffic fatality rate of 42 deaths per 100 000 population. Majority (48%) of those killed are passengers of four-wheelers though pedestrians also constitute a significant proportion (20%) of these fatalities.
