A hospital in Japan "accidentally" used simply treated water meant for toilets as drinking water for nearly 30 years, according to a report in Yomiuri Shimbun. The bizarre incident came to light last month, leading to an apology from Osaka University researcher and hospital's vice president Kazuhiko Nakatani. According to Japanese news outlet, the hospital is situated in Osaka University. Shockingly, the well water was flowing to 120 faucets, which were used for drinking water, washing hands and even gargling. "I am very sorry that the university hospital that provides advanced medical care has caused anxiety," he was quoted as saying by the publication.
