Health officials in India are going bananas over allegations that a monkey was able to slip into a hospital in the city of Jammu and terrorize patients and visitors for nearly three hours before being removed.The monkey had come into the emergency ward of Government Medical College Hospital to either beat the heat or find food and ended up dozing on a bed for more than three hours. As might be expected, the patients at the adjoining beds weren’t too thrilled to have a monkey as their roommate. “I came to show my child, but you can see the situation. It looks less like a hospital for humans and more for animals. The monkey is on the next bed and four-five dogs are roaming outside, the hospital looks like a zoo,” one patient said. “My relative got fruits for the patient, but the monkey snatched it,” a visitor told NDTV. The monkey reportedly left on its own after three hours, but its presence has officials like Omar Abdullah, the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, going ape.
