Ep 158: Frostbite and Forceps - Self Surgery in Antarctica
What do you do if you are in the coldest, most remote place on earth and you need to have surgery? You probably hope to hell that you brought a doctor along with you... but what if you ARE the doctor who was brought along? Today Farz tells us about Leonid Rogozov, who took out his own appendix! And Jerri Lin Nielsen, who diagnosed and treated her own breast cancer deep in the Antarctic freeze! Very important homework assignment to watch X-Files S1 E8 - "Ice" literally as soon as you can.
