The man who cut out his own appendix

We could save big money on NHS surgery by handing out scalpels and "Teach Yourself" books.
I hope to see it in a future manifesto.

"He had to open his own abdomen to take his intestines out," says Vladislav. "He didn't know if that was humanly possible."

Top bloke.

I thought the second line of the thread tile was going to be :-

' Rather than vote the Tories back in power '

Next they will be performing a "Tracheotomy" at the dinner table to remove a chicken bone stuck in the Guest`s Throat

Tracheotomy was first depicted on Egyptian artifacts in 3600 BC.
It was described in the Rigveda, a Sanskrit text, circa 2000 BC.
Homerus of Byzantium is said to have written of Alexander the Great saving a soldier from suffocation by making an incision with the tip of his Sword in the man's Trachea.
Hippocrates condemned the practice of tracheotomy as incurring an unacceptable risk of damage to the carotid artery.
Warning against the possibility of death from inadvertent laceration of the carotid artery during tracheotomy

Great story, thanks.

It's not as if it's brain surgery; you're right there.
