Mar 6, 2010: 1961 - Surgeon does self-surgery
I saw this story on another site, searched it here and couldn't find it, but thought it would be a good submission to the Cellar.
In early May 1961 a Russian surgeon named Leonid Ivanovich Rogozov was the only medical personal on a mission to the Antarctic to build a new base. On this mission, Rogozov diagnosed himself with acute appendicitis. Being the only surgeon in a remote location gave him little option; he had to preform the surgery himself or die. I can't even imagine having steady hands while operating on myself. link - http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/339/dec15_1/b4965 Last edited by xoxoxoBruce; 03-05-2010 at 10:28 PM. |
