Dr. Leonid Rogozov Performing Surgery On Himself In 1967.

Just in case you got this far and were managing to keep your lunch down, here's Dr. Leonid Rogozov in the process of performing surgery on himself back in 1967. I was during an expedition to the Antarctic, Russian when surgeon Leonid Rogozov became seriously ill. He quickly realized he had appendicitis and needed an operation. Unfortunately for him, he was the only doctor on the team, which meant he would have to do it himself. So he did.

He worked out a detailed plan for the operation and assigned his colleague's specific tasks. After nearly two hours he completed the operation. He took some antibiotics and sleeping tablets and then returned to his normal duties just two weeks later!
