Most of the time here at TIFI, we focus on fixing things. But today I wanted to share something I stumbled across that focuses on fixing a person.
In 1961, a twelve man Soviet crew was building a new base in the Antarctic. Mindful that being trapped in sub-zero temperatures for months on end required a medical professional to be on hand, one doctor had been assigned to the team. So what happens when the only man capable of performing surgery comes down with a severe case of appendicitis? He does what any reasonably minded person would do. Performs an appendectomy…on himself. There, he fixed it.
Was dit toen bij mij maar zo makkelijk.
