Whisky cure after anti-freeze error


A woman who drank anti-freeze was prescribed whisky as an antidote after her potentially life-threatening mistake. Glennis Middleton, from Forfar in Angus, was told that anti-freeze can cause kidney failure, blindness and even death. Doctors at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee told her that alcohol was the antidote and gave her a choice of gin, vodka or whisky.
