He Removed His Own Appendix!
On April 29th 1961, a doctor of the 6th Soviet Antarctic expedition Leonid Rogozov aged 27 felt pain in a right lower belly and fever. The next day brought only exasperation. Having no chance to call a plane and being the only doctor at the station “Novolazarevskaya”, at night, in April, 30th the surgeon made an appendix removal operation on himself using local anesthesia. He was assisted by an engineer and the station’s meteorologist.

Re: He Removed His Own Appendix!
I can believe that. If you've been to a dentist to have an extraction, filling or root canal, you understand the effects of Novocaine, and how it is possible for one to remove his or her own appendix, with minimal discomfort. Of course, if he had left the appendix inside him, he would've most certainly died a very, very painful death. Great post, **Lady  |

Re: He Removed His Own Appendix!
Having to do that would be freaky. A coupla years ago another doctor, stationed in Antarctica, had to operate on her own tit after she developed breast cancer. |
