Bungling medics in Mexico are the butt of jokes after being filmed dropping a human heart that was being rushed to a patient needing a transplant.
Worst of all, the whole dramatic medical emergency was caught on camera.
The nation's media were following every step of the dramatic journey in Mexico City to the capital's hospital.
Medical personnel put a heart for transplant into an ice box as they recover it along a street in Mexico City
They watched as the heart was driven across police-cleared streets to the airport strip where a private plane was waiting, successfully transferred to the plane and then carefully unloaded on its arrival.
But as the medics hurried to transport it to the hospital - the plastic case opened and the heart fell out.
Using only their bare hands, the medics snatched the package up, locked the case and hurried on their way.
Fortunately, the heart was wrapped up within three layers and the transplant went ahead with the patient recovering well, according to the surgeon who performed the operation.
