A man with green blood. It's Possible, meet him
Oddly enough this case is not science fiction. In October 2005, a 42 year old man attended a hospital in British Columbia, Canada, because he felt discomfort of circulation in both legs. Given this situation the doctors decided to perform surgery and remove the tissues that were blocking the blood flow.
During pre-testing of emergency that the patient had detected a slight tachycardia although his blood pressure was normal and that their only abnormality was very high levels of creatine in the blood.
But the real surprise came when surgeons attempted to insert a catheter into your artery and after numerous attempts, puncture produced a dark green blood.
After the initial shock, tested the blood and the patient was diagnosed sulfahemoglobinemia, a condition that occurs when a sulfur atom is incorporated into the hemoglobin molecule, probably because of excessive ingestion of a medication called sumatriptan, used to relieve migraines.
