May I remind you all of Mr. Leonid Ivanovich Rogozov, who was known for a successful

Self-appendectomy while stationed at a remote research station in Antarctica

?

That's Dr. Leonid Ivanovich Rogozov, but to be fair he did get his MD 5 years after that antarctic expedition.

wow, he operated on himself BEFORE he became a doctor?

Bro just said "wait, that was kind of easy?"

Right, meanwhile I wouldn't know the first thing to do, I don't even know where the appendix is, and dig into myself with a scalpel? What could go wrong? So many things could go wrong. I have no idea what I'm doing down there.

He was a Dr. indeed! And what a doctor.

I think this would have gone quite differently in the Tropics, since I expect Antarctica to have quite a few less bacteria that could have infected the wound. Still hardcore, though.

Jesus Christ that guy got balls of steel... And no appendix anymore.
