Dr. Leonid Rogozov

Taking out his own appendix in Antarctica in 1961.

What the fucking fuck.

[Maggot]

He was the only doctor there and it was either do it or die. I never heard of it but can only imagine what he was going through.

I was moved to read about him and while doing so discovered that NASA recommends that astronauts have a number of non-essential body parts such as appendix and wisdom teeth removed before heading into space.

I learn stuff here.

They tried to give me a tubal ligation while wide awake using the epidural I had after having my son. The fucking epidural didn't take and I told them I can feel every fucking thing, don't you dare go cutting on me. Anyway, if it did take then they could have did it while I was awake.  I imagine if you can numb yourself well enough and are a doctor who knows what you're doing, it wouldn't be that hard as long as you have your head in the game.

In space, no one can hear you scream.

Ugh, no thank you.
That is one amazing man that could do that. Wow.
