Doctors on Merseyside rushed out to a DIY store in the middle of surgery to buy a tool needed to remove a metal plate from a patient's arm.
The plate had been put in overseas and none of the NHS screwdrivers at Whiston Hospital in Prescot fitted.
Surgeon Peter Mobbs sent an aide to a nearby B&Q to buy a £2.50 star-head screwdriver to do the job.
