Nitrogen cocktail prompts surgery on teen LANCASTER, England, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- A British teenager had to undergo an emergency operation to remove her stomach after she drank a cocktail laced with liquid nitrogen, doctors said. Gaby Scanlon, 18, was rushed to the hospital after she drank two "Nitro Jagermeister" cocktails while out with friends in Lancaster, The Sun reported. Although her friends did not suffer any negative effects, Scanlon began to feel breathless and had severe stomach pains. At the hospital, doctors found Scanlon had a perforated stomach and feared she would die unless they removed it immediately. "Medical opinion is that this would have proved fatal had the operation not been carried out urgently," Lancashire police said. The premises involved have suspended drinks involving liquid nitrogen. Scanlon's parents were at the hospital late Sunday and said she was in "serious but stable" condition.
