Any other place with methane gas wafting around would have been shut down and evacuated in rush, along with threats of dire consequences if anyne even thinks of smoking or using a light switch... But not a hospital! I'll bet mine wouldn't have either. (OK, partly because it wouldn't be doable and because you'd need a lot more methane for there to be a danger of anything; the really dangerous stuff is the other, smelly stuff emanating from shit. Point in case: I used to know a farmer who accepted an offer from the local purification plant to use their sewage sludge as fertiliser. They said the stuff was purified and thus harmless, but the way his health quickly deteriorated over the next two or three years until he died miserably told a different story. Nobody doubted that there must have been a connection, even if the link wasn't officially established.)
