Woman Performs Own Caesarian to Save Baby

[j.m@talk]

LONDON (Reuters) - A woman in Mexico gave birth to a healthy baby boy after performing a Caesarian section on herself with a kitchen knife, doctors said Tuesday.
The unidentified 40-year-old woman, who lived in a rural area without electricity, running water or sanitation and was an eight-hour drive from the nearest hospital, performed the operation when she could not deliver the baby naturally.

She had lost a previous baby due to labor complications.

"She took three small glasses of hard liquor and, using a kitchen knife, sliced her abdomen in three attempts ... and delivered a male infant that breathed immediately and cried," said Dr R.F. Valle, of the Dr. Manuel Velasco Suarez Hospital in San Pablo, Mexico.

Valle recounted the event in a report in the International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics.

Before losing consciousness, the woman told one of her children to call a local nurse for help. After the nurse stitched the wound with a sewing needle and cotton thread, the mother and baby were transferred and treated by Valle and his colleagues at the nearest hospital.

"This case represents an unusual and extraordinary decision by a women in labor who, unable to deliver herself spontaneously, and with no medical help or resources, decided to perform a Caesarian section upon herself," Valle said.

Anyone notice that themac asked if anyone HEARD of the story instead of asking if we'd SEEN the story? I wonder if there's a hidden meaning there. No eyes, eh? :confused:

Funny!...and the bantor keeps on coming....

Believe me ..there have been times that I almost threw my computer out the window...out of total frustration and self inflicted rage....

What helps me in all this is ..I say to myself that it is just a machine ( computer ) and suddenly I start laughing alot at myself.

Its the nature of the beast! .. but when the beast comes alive..look out... Most problems can be solved....its just if one has the patience or not....and I don't have alot of patience for a machine running me.... just keep saying to yourself...I am the GOD over this ......the most that could happen is you might go nuts and find yourself out on the boulevard start naked mad......where some guy runs you over because he was talking on his cell phone....

The pic I posted wasn't the woman who did the C-section on herself. It's the woman who REFUSED a C-section and ended up losing one of her twins.
