Relatives of a patient reported that a snake was coiled in the motor of a hospital bed in the Alto Guadalquivir Hospital in Andújar. This incident is not isolated, as another snake had been detected in the same location a few weeks prior.

In response to these findings, the Health Department of Andalusia has initiated internal proceedings to investigate the circumstances surrounding the appearance of these reptiles in the hospital, which has caused a stir among patients and healthcare staff.
