Feeling Green

Lets pretend for a second that you're a surgeon.  You're about to conduct a procedure on a patient when you slice into his leg and green ooze comes out instead of blood.  What do you do?  I have no medical training at all but I think that "freak out" isn't off the table.

The Register went straight to thoughts of Vulcans, but I'm not that much of a star-dork.   I was more into Nickelodeon .  Turns out that the dude's migraine medicine provoked sulfur into his hemoglobin, turning his lifeblood green.  Bet that wasn't on the label.
