Post insane physical feats here

[Guest]

I will start with, this woman has insane pain tolerance?

 

In March 2000, Inés Ramírez Pérez, a Mexican woman from the state of Oaxaca, gained media attention after performing a successful Caesarean section on herself. She had no medical training, but nevertheless performed a successful Caesarean section on herself; both she and her baby survived.

Ramírez was alone in her cabin in Rio Talea, Southern Mexico, when her labour started. The nearest midwife was more than 50 miles away over rough terrain and rough roads. Her husband, who had assisted her through her previous labours, was drinking at a cantina. Rio Talea has 500 people and only one phone, but it was not nearby. Ramírez had given birth to eight children, seven living, at the time of the pregnancy in question. The last pregnancy, three years prior, had ended in fetal death during labor. Rather than experience the loss of another child in the same way, Ramírez decided to operate on herself.

At midnight, on 5 March 2000 — after 12 hours of continual pain, Ramírez sat down on a bench and drank three small glasses of hard liquor. She then used a 15 centimetres (5.9 in) kitchen knife to cut open her abdomen in a total of three attempts. Ramírez cut through her skin in a 17 centimetres (6.7 in) vertical line several centimeters to the right of her navel, starting near the bottom of the ribs and ending near the pubic area. (For comparison: a typical C-section incision is 10 cm long, horizontal and well below the navel, the so-called "bikini-line incision".) After operating on herself for an hour, she reached inside her uterus and pulled out her baby boy. She then severed the umbilical cord with a pair of scissors and became unconscious. She used clothes to bandage her wound after regaining consciousness, and sent one of her older sons to find help.

Several hours later, the village health assistant and a second man found Ramírez conscious and alert, along with her live baby. He sewed her incision with an available needle and thread.

Ramírez was eventually taken to the local clinic, two and a half miles away, and then to the nearest hospital, eight hours away by car. Sixteen hours thereafter she underwent surgical repair of the incision site. On the seventh post-operative day, she underwent a second surgery to repair complications resulting from damage to her intestines incurred during her C-section. She was released from the hospital on the tenth day post-surgery, and went on to make a complete recovery.

Describing her experience, Ramírez said, "I couldn’t stand the pain anymore. If my baby was going to die, then I decided I would have to die, too. But if he was going to grow up, I was going to see him grow up, and I was going to be with my child. I thought that God would save both our lives."

Ramírez is believed to be the only person known to have performed a successful caesarean section on herself. Her case was written up in the March 2004 issue of the International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics.

She is also believed to have been profoundly lucky in several ways: to have put herself in the position she chose, which put her uterus — rather than her intestines — against the abdominal wall under the incision site; to have not succumbed to infection from the large open wound in a non-sterile environment; to have not passed out from the pain part-way through, bled to death, or died from shock. She did say, afterward, that she didn't advise other women to follow her example

I hope you mean the TV's and not a computer monitor because get enough TV's together and you could have a black hole

I once slept for like 16 hours and DIDN'T feel like I was hit by a truck afterwards. I would say that was pretty amazing.

[RatedBlam]

I once slept for a bit longer than 12 hours. When I woke up I was so tired that I slept a bit more and had to take a nap later that day.

i once gamed for straight 17+ hours straight without eating or walking away from the screen , literally just sitting in front of the monitor, if that counts..started Starcraft 2 on hard mode at 7:40ish in the morning,  later after the game, i moved the cutains it was bloody midnight somewhat 1:20 am! So that's a pretty amazing feat imo! #noobgamerrage

I have a scar on my left cheek from when I was on the family computer. I was slouched so that the blood had gone to my head and when I stood up to open the back door for my brother, it all dropped to my feet. I grabbed the doorknob and then my vision went blank, I stumbled backwards and smashed my face into the kitchen countertop. I woke up 10 seconds later not feeling a thing, but then I felt something dripping into my ear. I put my hand to my hear, and pulling it back saw it covered in blood. All I said was "...help..." as I got up and opened the door properly. by then my mom had reached the door, she saw my face and almost had a heart attack. We went to the ER and got me sewn back together, the entire time since I woke up from being knocked out, I was cracking up laughing my head off. The body's natural painkillers really are effective when they kick in...

it was cool, and I got mad cred with my friends when they saw the massive stitches sticking out of my face.

A dog bit my other middle finger off.

A dog bit my other middle finger off.

The dog is telling you something by that.

[terrytek]

My hand was out, not just that finger.

[AlwaysFSX]

My hand was out, not just that finger.

I'd have to wonder what you would need to do for those circumstances to occur.
