THE SURGEON WHO OPERATED ON HIMSELF :


THE SURGEON WHO OPERATED ON HIMSELF :
 In 1961, Leonid Rogozov, 27, was the only
 surgeon in the Soviet Antarctic Expedition. During
 the expedition, he felt severe pain in the stomach
 and had a high fever. Rogozov examined himself
 and discovered that his appendix was inflamed
 and could burst at any time. With a local anesthesia, he operated himself to remove the appendix.
An engineer and a meteorologist assisted surgery.
