How did he perform self surgery, and more importantly...did he make it out in one piece?! Join us as we take a look at the fascinating story!

The sheer mental strength required to do this, must be immense.

That's the most stereotypically Russian thing I've heard ever

There is no medal of honor high enough for not only the pain but the mental fortitude this act takes

I won’t lie
I was expecting
“And two weeks later he sadly passed away”
😅

Do people seriously not understand how freakin amazing this is i mean using reflection for your assistance can be tricky to begin with because of the nature of the image but then doing surgery ON YOURSELF that too with only local anaesthesia is just mind-blowing

in soviet russia appendix performs surgery on you

[dreamwolf]

Fun fact: after this incident, it became a requirement to have your appendix removed prior to going to Antarctica.

[MexicanBandit]

He should’ve earned a medal of some kind, that shit was impressive

[youdedyo]

It's not his appendix, it's OUR appendix

[Ornzora]

I can imagine him screaming
"HOLD THE MIRROR RIGHT DANGIT !"
inside his head like your dad told you to hold the flashlight 😂
