That’s the spirit
Just found this in my local newspaper. Here’s an English source:
A Bosnian hospital patient spent seven hours repairing hospital machinery so his operation could go ahead. Doctors had told car mechanic Slobodan Mocevic, 56, his operation to remove a kidney stone was cancelled because of faulty equipment. Mocevic asked to borrow a set of tools and then stripped down and repaired the Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy machine at the hospital in Kasindol. (source)
The German name for that machine is equally great: Nierensteinzertrümmerer.
