The surgeon who removed his own infected appendix was from which country?
Correct answer: USSR
Blinky
Using only local anesthesia! How did he not pass out from the pain?

amazing ... this quiz rocks!!!! merci muchos!!!!

Blinky, There are limited pain receptors in the abdomen. Once the skin and abdominal muscles were numbed the pain would not have been great. But I would like to hear this Doctor's review of the pain/discomfort.
Today, in good conditions, there are still operations on the brain and limbs without a general.

I picked USSR because I figured they would have that kinda guts/strength to do that. ouch

Caroline
Blinky, local anesthesia blocks the pain. that's what doctor's use when suturing up a cut and dentists use to work or your teeth.
Chief Keefe
That's the most Russian thing one can do so the answer was obvious.

I cannot imagine cutting myself open. He was lucky and quite brave.

Caroline, if that’s the case why are we put to sleep and not just given a local. It’s a lot less stress on the body and you don’t have to have that breathing tube down your throat. I vote for a local.

Some of the questions require a guess unless you ask Siri or Alexa!!

Tom, I’ve had an awake craniotomy to remove a brain tumour; there are no pain receptors in the brain, so I felt nothing.

Blinky, he nearly passed out a couple/few times and eventually didn’t use the mirror bc it wasn’t helping. He had to explain things to the guys helping him just in case he did pass out.

Didnt know the answer but the moment I saw USSR I didn’t hesitate. Russians are a whole type of species
