Doctor Performs Appendectomy...on Himself!
On April 29th 1961 Leonid Rogozov aged 27 a doctor of the 6th Soviet Antarctic expedition felt pain in his lower right belly as well as fever. The next day brought only exasperation. Having no chance to call a plane and being the only doctor at the station he made an appendix removal operation on himself using local anesthesia. He was assisted by an engineer and the station meteorologist http://englishrussia.com/?p=7297 |
