<strong>Despite a knife hanging on his back, a 34-year-old man, reportedly strolled out of a hospital just so he can have a cigarette.</strong>

This happened in Kazan, Russia, as a nurse filmed the patient known as Vladimir in his underwear.

According to Metro UK, a doctor was able to persuade him to go back into the hospital after it had been noted to him that he doesn't have a cigarette to light.

"Let’s go. Have an injection and you go home," a doctor reportedly told the patient.
