CRAP !! He removed his own appendix ! As the only surgeon in the expedition team and with no suitable medical help within reach, Rogozov realized he would need to take out his own appendix to have a chance of surviving appendicitis. He managed to do this with the help of his non-medical colleagues by instructing them on holding lights and resuscitation methods if he should lose consciousness. After 2 hours he had successfully completed the operation. Only when the instruments were cleaned and the place tidied up did he take antibiotics and painkillers and go to sleep.
