Self Surgery - There, I Fixed It - Epic Kludge Photos (http://thereifixedit.com/2010/04/09/epic-kludge-photoself-surgery/?var=1)

Most of the time here at TIFI, we focus on fixing things. But today I wanted to share something I stumbled across that focuses on fixing a person.

In 1961, a twelve man Soviet crew was building a new base in the Antarctic. Mindful that being trapped in sub-zero temperatures for months on end required a medical professional to be on hand, one doctor had been assigned to the team. So what happens when the only man capable of performing surgery comes down with a severe case of appendicitis? He does what any reasonably minded person would do. Performs an appendectomy…on himself. There, he fixed it.

Woah....thanks for sharing.

[Mister.E]

that is epic. i dont even know how someone could do that. i guess if your life is on the line you have to do what is required.

[tricky_ab]

Well then, this thread goes GREAT with my morning breakfast...

[IIIXziuR]

In Soviet Russia, you operate on you... (I tried :( )

[grahamb]

holy crap that's the guy i want doing my appendectomy

[TurboSE]

we all repair ourselves...I slit my pinkie to the bone in Lowes last week on a piece of aluminum. I found their superglue and fixed it. I even paid for the glue. He just has more knowledge about the human body than we do...I'm sure his mechanic bills him heavily when he replaces an alternator on his Bentley.

Still amazing, and truly a "man's man"

that guy is so infinitely more boss than the mechanic that can swap out an alternator.

[DALAZ_68]

well there are known anasthetics that numb only certain sections of the body...back in high school i have an orthoscopic surgery for my knee, they injected something into my neck, numbed me completely out, and got to watch them do the surgery...pretty fucking narly...

[HyperTek]

think of the technology back in 61.. this is pretty barbaric stuff

If you want something done right, you do it yourself....

that's fucking intense. i watched them remove an ingrown toenail once and it bled like a mother fucker. it almost made me gag to see myself bleeding that much but at the same time i was still amazed.

it was pretty cool, especially since they had the monitor right infront of me so they would move my leg and i see what the bones were doing...lol
