A hospital in Denmark is getting serious traction for something it did for one of its dying patients.

It granted him his dying wish.

Carsten Flemming Hansen, 75, was admitted to Aarhus University Hospital last week suffering from a ruptured aortic aneurysm. It sadly led to sever internal bleeding, meaning surgery wasn’t an option and that this poor man would be dead within days, if not hours.

Mr Hansen, knowing this, told his nurse of his dying wish. To enjoy one final sunset with a cigarette and a glass of wine.

The hospital decided to ignore their strict no-smoking policy and afforded Mr Hansen his final wish.

The hospital has shared the pic on the Facebook page, and as things like this always does, it has gone insanely viral.
