The saddest thing about the second story is that woman was perfectly good-looking BEFORE the surgery and she probably would have looked pretty even as she got older. But South Korea puts a lot of pressure on actresses, models and singers to get plastic surgery (this is why a lot of K-pop stars and Miss Korea contestants have identical-looking faces: the surgery is well-established).
Not just famous people. There is a lot of pressure on normal, non-celebrity women as well. Especially now with the current misogyny epidemic in South Korea. You know why Korean skincare and makeup is so good and world famous? Looking good is pretty much required for women, they can get fired from work for not wearing makeup sometimes. There is some pressure on men too but that’s mostly celebrities.
I heard something about a surgery that involves cutting the sides of the mouth slightly to give a permanent subtle smile even when the face is relaxed.
Useless husband. Your wife is gonna give birth any moment to your child while having a history of labor complications and you’re out getting plastered? Smh.
I mean, if he got her pregnant every year, the oldest child could very well be the 6 year old. She could have a 1 year old while delivering the newest one. It's a sad story overall. I hope she and her children were able to have some quality of life in the end 🙏
@@henotic.essence "It's a sad story overall" Yeah you can say that again. Though considering she's 40 when she had this child and they are in Nowhere, Mexico I highly doubt she started having children only at 31
@@frend1220 yeah, sure dude. All the family worked for the duration of the approximately 20 hours this whole thing took. The 6 year old came early because there weren't that many people at the restaurant he worked
The lady in the last story is such a classic Mexican badass. "Damn it, my husband is out slamming modelos and tequila shots at the local bar. Too bad there's no local hospital. Anyways, I'm cutting this thing out myself. I'm sure someone will take care of me before I die" *proceeds to try this crazy plan and succeeds 100%*
Random but my great grandma lived on a farm hours from town. When she had her first son. My great granddad an his brothers were working on the farm. She delivered the baby herself an when my great granpa got home he had a son sleeping in the crib and a hot plate of food on the table lol Not as crazy as performing own csection but its crazy how some women have had to deliver babies
Video topic suggestion: The Russian youtuber that made Homunculous videos of the mid 2010s. I’m surprised after all this time you still never covered this one.
Fucking hell, that guy- I looked up to him as a kid. Like a "true scientist" way not the crazy and insane guy, who ends up smashing the hell out of the thing after it squirts at him. In hindsight it looks more like a parasite if anything. I'n so fucking drunk and going ti puke my guts out.
That last story was so badass. Downing 3 shots of rubbing alcohol then having the clarity to C SECTION YOURSELF ACCURATELY is absolutely unthinkable oh my god
I think I saw somewhere that she does generally have an unusually high pain tolerance. It's still weird she didn't just pass out and bleed to death at some point.
I remember hearing her story on a dumb "when surgery goes wrong" kinda show when I was young.. and even as a kid I thought why the hell isn't cosmetic surgery screened better. Like it shouldn't be as easy as going to buy a new handbag
@@RoxZombie Unfortunately there's also the other side of that reflected in the first story, where something can be stupidly considered an elective "cosmetic" surgery and become out of reach for those who can't afford it.
@@Crawfishness yeah I totally agree, it shouldn't be considered "cosmetic" or elected when it's something that's genuinely will improve or help someone's quality of life. Another thing I've never understood is gender confirmation surgery, there are people who can literally get surgery to become lizards, lions, you name it. Also sis women can get feminisation surgeries like sis men get masculisation surgeries. But for transgender people there is so much politics and barriers and hoops to jump through regarding mental health professionals and even before that talking to doctors that don't understand the mental health side of it to argue your case. I mean when an intersex child is born (with unexpected external sex organs) the parents right there and then can choose to have gender confirmation surgery preformed on a new born that has never been given a chance to decide for themselves if they want surgery or even know what gender if any they feel they are. There is absolutely no sense in it all. It should be everyone have some level of mental health screening before any "cosmetic" but not to the extreme end of it. Just enough to know whether it will actually improve your quality of life, and a follow up to make your handling it well.
@@RoxZombie When I had my entire face rebuilt all I needed was money. When I wanted my crotch rebuilt I had to have two letter letters from specialist in human sexuality and one had to be a PhD. Because surrendering masculinity is considered a cultural step down and is automatically stigmatized. They say almost nothing against FTM because that’s considered going uphill. It’s all ingrained cultural hatred of women.
During the story about the Korean woman right when you said "but eventually she found one shady doctor that would do the procedure..." UA-cam interrupted with an ad for mint mobile that began with "Hi, I'm Ryan Reynolds..." 💀
Hey, I've had his mobile service for almost 4 years. I love it. I even just got 6 months of Paramount Plus free for being a customer for so long. Plus, he sends Christmas cards every year with a little surprise inside, different every year. It's fun and very much affordable.
Second story is an absolute tragedy… It’s such a shame to see how people will throw away everything for the sake of a perfection they’ll never achieve. Truly disgraceful was the doctor that enabled her delusions.
@@peanutm9346 Sounds like he's correct though. She ruined her life because of mental degradation (comparing herself to women who got jobs) and was then enabled by a back-alley doctor by teacher her how to inject silicon herself.
I cut my own cyst out of my scrotum. It was dormant for about a decade but it started growing again and I decided to act. It all went smoothly until the end it turns out ingrown pubes had been tangling around the inside around the cyst and they'd all formed a mini dreadlock knotted around a venule or arteriole which I accidentally pulled outside my skin. I began by using a syringe to perforate it and perform a bunch of small incisions around the cyst until it was the right texture to squeeze it all out. That all went smoothly but then I pulled the hairs which was a mistake. It was all just under a cubic centimeter in total. I put it in a ziplock bag and handed it in at a walk in clinic for a biopsy and got some antibiotics. Too my face the doctor just acted like it was a normal thing to do, but she just told the pathology lab that it burst so she obviously knew it wasn't. I'm an age carer who does a lot of wound care and was treating stage 3 ulcers every day at the time so my gore tolerance was heightened, I had a lot of medical equipment on hand. Wouldn't recommend anyone trying it but I'd probably do it again.
The second story is so insane. Straight up sounds like a fable or a folk story. There was once a girl who was pretty and people loved her. But it was not enough, she wanted more beauty and more love, until her greed and obsession turned her completely deformed and unrecognisable, losing almost everything she had.
same happened to actress Lyn May, but she was actually lied to by her doctors who injected cooking oil in her face. women around her convinced her of seeing these "surgeons' so she'd look younger. she got deformed with time and there's still oil inside her face, she's been living like this for over 40 years
This kinda reminds me of that British guy who wanted to become Korean. Oli London is what I think his name is, he wanted to be “transracial.” Wild story.
I guess the most famous would be the Soviet doctor that had to cut out their own appendix in Antarctic base, because, well, he was the only doctor at that base.
12:34 After 12 hours she took it upon herself. But, her husband was out drinking the whole time? TWELVE HOURS!?!?!?! What an insane alcoholic he must be.
drunk, or in jail, or screwing other women because the pregnancy HE caused made her too fat or whatever. How could such a badass woman be married to such a useless garbage
I remember talking to a guy who claimed only men are willing to sacrifice themselves for their family. He was trying to find examples of why "men" are better than "women". Bro, that third story, she literally cut herself open to save her child. Parents sacrificing themselves isn't a "male" or "female" only trait, it's a parent trait. I am so happy she and her child survived.
I had that gynecomastia thing as a teenager. A slightly painful lump right behind my nipple. I figured it was just my luck to get breast cancer as a teenage boy. My doctor explained what the lump was and that it was an occasional symptom of puberty in boys. It did indeed slowly go away on it's own as I reached adulthood. It was often uncomfortable, but not to the point that I wanted to cut myself open to get it out.
They make individually wrapped, pre-sterilized scalpels meant for single use, which is what I assume the first guy used. I accidentally cut a mole on my face half off while shaving, and when I went to urgent care the next morning I hoped they could just finish the job for me... Nope, they just stopped the bleeding and sent me home. I ended up having a dermatologist actually remove it a few weeks later.
“if you’re watching this video, you’re probably not one of them” is also super true bc the whole point of that study was to explain that people in low income communities have built resilience because they don’t have healthcare and their immune system and like genetics have adapted to survive in those conditions
0:15 ACTUALLY not always! There was this guy who had appendicitis that was a doctor and stuck out in the middle of antartica he did the procedure on himself and it was a success!!
I had weight loss surgery (vertical sleeve gastrectomy/gastric sleeve) back in 2019. They cut out roughly 85% of my stomach and have this special machine that both cauterizes and staples it shut. For whatever reason, when I came to the anesthesia had worn off, so I felt every bit of the pain of just having had the majority of my stomach cut out of me. I started throwing up blood, coding and blacking out. I’d regain consciousness, then I’d try telling them how much pain I was in, but they’d assure me I must be crazy, since I was on pain meds. They’d give me nausea meds, I’d puke them up with more blood, code and black out again from the pain. They kept trying to make me stand up. I’d try telling them I couldn’t but they refused to listen. I’d do it, immediately get lightheaded, code and black out. There was on point where my heart stopped for 12 seconds. It doesn’t seem like a long time until you actually count it out. Everything started to fade to black, I felt warm, peaceful, my hearing started to get distorted. Then I snapped back and felt this immense fear and dread, when I saw all the nurses running in. I asked this one lady if I was going to die, as she was frantically undressing me and she just told me they were doing the best they could, which terrified me even more. They tried telling me I experienced “vasovagal syncope” and while I do have that now, after the surgery, I think something went wrong with the anesthesia and I was in such immense pain that my body was attempting to shut down. Don’t regret the surgery one bit and typically there are no issues with it- I had a friend who had the same exact surgery and she reported what most people do- slight cramping, but nothing too serious. I was some kind of anomaly.
Holy shit that's awful.. I've only ever passed out from just pain alone, never had my body try to do all THAT. My case was I had gotten a staple or some sharp object stuck and went all the way through my toe (I was 13 and walking barefoot outside to get the mail). I had to get it removed, but I guess they wanted to give me a gool ol' reality check so as soon as they pulled it out I started feeling it, like i felt the moving from even the inside, like how you feel something sliding down your throat if you swallow it weird.
idk if this will make you feel any better or not, but the nurse responded that way simply because she was SUPPOSED to. I had emt training and we were taught that if a patient ever asks if they're gonna die, we should say exactly that: "we're doing the best we can". This is so we could avoid getting sued say you wont die and you do? family could sue for giving them false hope and providing a diagnosis you werent 100% on say you'll die and you dont? sued for mental trauma around the belief they were dying and providing a diagnosis you werent 100% on saying "we're trying our best" is something that you're 100% sure on, and thus, is the best phrase to use. I'm not sure if the nurse thought one way or another, but doctors/nurses/paramedics saying this does not guarantee that they think you'll die. Very sorry you had to deal with all that though, it sounds terrifying, especially as someone who's terrified of anesthetics
@@stmslyThe one time it happened to me from drinking some Pepsi, it was miserable. I had no clue what was happening, and I thought I was going to die. Not fun at all.
Weird question, are you a ginger? They apparently are somewhat resistant to anesthesia. My mom has a similar reaction to opiates, they don't last anywhere as long as they should, and she's never abused them. She's on a lot of psych meds, though.
As tragic as the model’s story is it’s crazy that it has taken on an urban legend status because of the inaccurate, mistranslated and AI-generated scramble if information. Almost like the slit-mouth woman story.
When I was a teenager I removed one of my moles myself. I was around 16, it would annoy me so id scratch it. Oneday after it'd scabbed all around the base I scratched at it and it came up more, started playing with it and pulling at it. Hard to explain but it kinda had roots or something, felt weird af pulling it out and off. Never came back still have a slightly odd but jarely noticeable scar. No complications, bled for a little but it weirdly enough eased up bleeding once it was off.
I removed a skin tag with dental floss and a pair of scissors it didn't even bleed and the only thing that hurt was when I pulled the bandage off the next day
@@dylanconnelly9845 Oof, as I age, I've been getting a few of those. They're so annoying. I never had one before the age of like 30. I had one on my scalp that kind of fell away/was ripped away. I hate skin tags.
@ElysetheEevee I haven't had skin tags yet, 34 and somehow lucky in that aspect. Do not envy you, according to another commenter dental floss works, cannot recommend though.
It's amazing how a combination of 21st century technology and American healthcare, have combined to create things that almost any other timeline would find horrifying.
the craziest part about the first one is that it probably could have been covered by insurance as a medical thing if it was diagnosed as a hormone issue that could be fixed with some type of HRT
4:22 Paramedic here: We have sterile disposable scalpels. It’s entirely possible, even likely, that he had one of these. It was sterile if so, no autoclave needed
I love that the doctor shown at 8:27 is Asian which goes along with this part of the story being in Korea. I like to imagine Whang spending an obsessive amount of time sifting through stock footage trying to find perfect ones to fit the story lol
That reminds me of my former roommate. He once woke up with a lump on his leg and thought it was a boil full of pus, so he decided to cut the lump open himself with a knife. Unfortunately it was a perforant venous insufficiency. In other words, a vein that had twisted and caused the blood to congest there. Of course, it wasn't a great idea to cut open a vein at your leg. (I mean an ateria would be even more severe, but it was bloody enough!) I was at home at that time and drove him immediately to the hospital. I couldn't forget the story for years, especially because there were still bloodstains on the passenger side of my A Class that I couldn't get rid of. I now have a new car and live with my boyfriend together, but it was a lesson to all of us never to cut yourself even if you think it's just a harmless lump.
There's only one well reasoned self surgery I know, by Leonid Rogozov. He was a MD on a Soviet Antarctic expedition when he fell ill with appendicitis in 1961 and antibiotics wouldn't work. He performed an appendectomy on himself with a couple of helpers passing him instruments and holding a mirror. He used novocaine solution for local anesthesia, pretty hadcore going into one's abdominal cavity.
IIRC there was a woman who gave herself what was essentially buccal fat removal surgery because her cheeks were too big to comfortably fit under a motorcycle helmet. The Internet Investigator did a video on her.
@bubbashrimp cut myself by mistake, and couldn't afford to go to the hospital to get it done properly. The trick is to use fishing line as opposed to normal thread.
Oo! Oo! I got one! I had a skin tag the size of my pinkie nail, give or take. It rubbed against my glasses, and was terribly noticeable when I shaved my head, and just generally uncomfortable to have. So I decided to get rid of it. I grabbed a pair of kitchen shears, sanitized them by boiling the blades and rubbing alcohol. My head was already shaved so all I did was swab the area with rubbing alcohol. I cut that skin tag off without anesthetic, took about 30 minutes of slicing away at my own flesh. When it finally came off what followed was an awesome gush of blood that lasted 3 days until I got wise and pressed an ice cube to the wound to stop the bleeding.
My Grandma once used silk sewing thread to tie her own skin tag ( which was placed on the upper eyelid), which eventually grew deprived of blood flow, dried up and fell by itself, no blood loss at all. Pretty impressive I must say, but beware, some bigger skin tags can bleed a lot!
self surgery makes me think of the Reddit post I saw where some chick cut the fat pads out of her cheeks at home to fit in a motorcycle helmet - and yes, she did post pictures
I remember that story about the Korean lady absolutely horrifying me when I first read about it and saw the images of what she did to her poor face way back in the 2010s. I didn't then and still don't gross out easy, but holy crap she went from beautiful to uncanny to monster to scarred disaster so quickly it was a mental whiplash. Great video, Whang.
***8 children *** ***The Father is busy getting wasted*** ***Another baby died previously*** ***Has to perform an emergency C section on her own*** Oh boy, suddenly dying from childbirth does not sound that bad. That is a Crimson Flag if I ever saw one!!
I think it has to do with the fact that her previous baby died during birth. Even if you don't control what happens, it's difficult as a woman not to think "I did something wrong, this is my fault".
Y'all are insane if you think abandoning her other kids is an acceptable train of thought in any way shape or form. It's unbalanced hormones, and rash decision making. (Also screw her husband, the least he could do is drink at home if she's that far along)
When you compared it to Rikki-Oh, i damn near pissed myself laughing.. i LOVE that movie and i was just flooded with mental images of him trying to do that! hahahaha!!
Remember watching a video about the Asian lady who injected cooking oil into her face on the way home from school on the train and nearly fainting. legit seeing the pictures of her bloated face made my light headed and felt the blood rushing up to my head
Hang Mioku is possibly the most depressing example of the failure and shortcomings of the vanity surgery industry, as well as the most severe and destructive example of bodily dysmorphia to date. It really sucks that things like this happen.
I did surgery on myself to get rid of an annoying ingrown hair. My dad pulled his own tooth out with pliers, despite having good insurance. I think some of us just like the pain.
Honestly, I think everyone does the ingrown hair thing. I'm not about to semi regularly go to someone else to get then to safely do it when a sharp knife and tweezers can get the job done with nearly no pain and minimal bleeding...
I don't think I enjoy the pain I think I enjoy the fact I can do it myself, we dont always have doctors available. Like just in case I HAVE to do something myself, I know I can...
I’ve done surgery on myself for ingrown hairs too. I think it’s a common thing to do. I probably should have done a better job at sterilizing the x-acto blade I used, but I didn’t get an infection.
The story about Hang Mioku made me sad. She didn't deserve such an awful life. I understand there's crazy societal pressure in South Korea for women to get facial work done to meet impossible beauty standards. It's especially pervasive in the film and music industries. That had to have been a factor in her driving her to such self-destructive behavior.
mate i got something possibly a little wild for you. I've found a poet by the name Atef Ayadi and a google doc with over 1000 pages that is a bunch of crazy nonsense that either is someone's decent into madness or confessions of crimes through poetry
I did my own vasectomy, I’m a vet surgeon with substantial experience in soft tissue surgery, I did my research, studied the procedure and managed to do it without any complications. I got myself checked out, had a semen examination and the procedure was successful. When I look back at it it was one of the stupidest thing I ever did, but I can’t help but be a bit proud that was able to pull it off
I technically performed self-surgery. I had a lump that was on my skin under my eye. It had been there for a long time. I had tried squeezing it out, but it always came back. In June 2020 I got fed up of it and ended up cutting it out with a pair of nail clippers and tweezers. I was able to cut the skin and get around the thing that was under the skin and cut it out. It was about the size of a cooked grain of white rice and was weird. The skin healed up really well and it's not come back since.
I had correction of gynecomastia done by a plastic surgeon, it cost $4k (I developed titties during puberty, I wasn’t overweight at all). I never thought to do it myself…
same here!, in my case it was because I went to get it removed once (different toe) and MAN they had ZERO consideration on me and basically caused a carnage for no reason whatesoever
I removed a cyst from my scalp once from watching UA-cam videos and it worked pretty well, drs wouldn't remove it because it was "cosmetic". I've offered to remove other people's but they will not let me
The fact that having a painful growth removed is seen as "elective" and not a necessity for quality of life makes me wanna cry. Also trying to remove it yourself is one way to make it necessary, i guess. 🙃
I've cut out a herbaceous cist from my scrotum, it was about the size of an airsoft pellet, i used a scalpel and made a small cut, it immediately became leaking clear fluid mixed with a little blood, i gently squeezed it to get the pus out. To clean up i used ethanol alcohol (which hurt more than the cut). Its fine now and never had anymore problems with it
Craziest thing I've done to myself is debride dead skin away from a wart I had been trying to kill for years. I was using a safety razor blade meant for shaving, and accidentally nicked my cuticle on my index finger on the opposite hand. Of course now there's a wart there, too...
I recently got my insurance to cover my gyno surgery. I did it by getting my genome sequenced and showing I have a BRCA mutation. If you want it done, see if you have the mutation, they'll pay for it with proof.
I'e been on every anti-depressant under the sun when I was 11-20 and have gyno. I gave up anti-depressants for exercise and even with bigger pecs now, it's not bad at all compared to others but it's always bugged me. Thanks for the advice as it might help with insurance if I pursue it.
I can actually relate to this heavily. I get Botox in my jaw every 3-4 months to relieve my severe TMJ/TMD. The grinding at night leaves me in a lot of pain. However, since Botox is generally “cosmetic and elective”, my insurance won’t cover it, despite pre authorization letters from my dentist and GP. My treatments are going up in price, and looking forward, this treatment will cost about $3000 per year. Now I’m browsing a DIY forum so that I can learn as much as possible before I buy my first vial of tox.
Suggestion (not a full video but just a section): the Houston Muffin Man story. It's such a benign story but also so on brand for this channel. You're going to have to find the photos though because it loses a lot of comedic power if you can't experience them, but I cannot find anything with web search.
@@SpellboundSpectre So in short, this guy in Houston opened up an unlicensed restaurant named the MuffinMan in the middle of a neighborhood. This greatly angered the neighbors partly because it was unlicensed, partly because Houston had a lot of NIMBY sort of people. The story escalates to the point that people are submitting complaints to the city council constantly. The first climax of the story culminates in an unknown person dumping a shocking amount of stinky fish in the MuffinMan parking lot, causing an even greater uproar from neighbors because the smell of the fish is now genuinely annoying. At some point either before or after the fish, the owner of the restaurant pivots and decides to embrace the outrage by turning his restaurant into a gay bar, an somewhat lewdly advertised gay bar. He begins serving phallic muffins (which I really hope someone can find photos of) and puts a sign outside to the effect of "a four inch muffin is better than an eight inch cock." When he finally gets called to city council to explain wtf is going on he goes on a rant (which I hope to dear god someone can uncover) and yeah, he loses the case and everyone tells him to stop. But then he sues "John Doe" over the whole shenanigans but the judge says no because you just can't sue John Doe for no reason. You can find some articles from the time for an overview of the whole thing from a local perspective.
Iv done three medical procedures on myself. When I was 15, I cut of my skin tag on my nipple using the serrated blade of a penknife. Later that year, I had a persistent ingrown toenail. It got to the point where a spike of nail had grown out the end of my toe, surrounded by flesh, it was seperate from the rest of my toenail. I used a knife to slice open the overgrown part of my toe, stretched it open, and pulled out the spike of nail, the toe stayed seperated into two slightly when it healed, so it's never gotten ingrown again. Then more recently when I was 26, I had a mole appear on my neck, it had started growing and becoming uncomfortable when I turned my neck. I cut it off and grinded it down to skin level using my nail, and ever since it's just looked like a freckle.
I was up and walking the same day as an emergency c section after 42 hours of hard labor. My baby and I were incredibly fortunate to survive after the hospital’s negligence and I wanted OUT as soon as possible. I never rested afterwards and popped a stitch holding my uterus on the 5th day. I nursed my baby and had bloody nipples. (Very common, it heals fast). Labor, delivery, and breastfeeding are literally a labor of love. Your suffering is nothing compared to the safety and care of your baby. Big props the mama that gave herself a c section, and I hope she divorced her husband.
Oh my! Your story reminds me of what I went through last year. I also had an emergency c section. No anesthesia used neither. So I felt every cut and literally felt this woman’s hands open me up to grab my baby. Before she did this she placed some orange jelly like pad on my belly that was warm. But I’m so happy things turned out well for my child and I.
"If my baby was going to die, then I decided I would have to die, too." girly literally had her own child find her but apparently the new baby was worth more to her 🗿
How dare you call me out for piercing my lip with a safety pin at 15 (still have it, 20 years later, together with a professionally done one on the other side). As a millennial, my “knowledge” of how to do it was from The Parent Trap, and I’d bet I’m not the only one.
3rd story- I can totally see how slaughtering livestock would help her complete an emergency c section on herself. Without getting too gross, I helped my family butcher pigs all my childhood and we are remarkably similar animals.
I had a patient who was constantly cutting fat from herself until she finally went to deep and died. She came in for revisions to her self inflicted botched surgeries at least 5 times...really sad.
I see now why asian parents tell their children to become doctors so that they can perform surgeries on themselves without activating bighead mode when failed
As someone who works in dermatology & assists on a lot of surgeries, the gynecomastia story has my jaw on the floor. And it’s only the beginning of the video 😭
birth pain is enought "suffering" to bring your beloved baby to the world, and deciding voluntary to even do more pain, to save your baby on birth when there is no help... heck. that baby better be omega grateful with their mother forever...
I love the way these stories are presented here most of them my freakishly curious self has already discovered but the twist on narrative and spunk recreates them in a way it's like hearing them for the first time. Thank you!!!!
I find it hard to believe the gynecomastia was considered cosmetic because if it's causing actual physical discomfort, it is no longer a cosmetic issue. He should've gone back to his doctor and reported any changes and new symptoms.
Woman #3 is badass. Only thing is, rubbing alcohol wouldn't kill the pain and would likely have killed her. Im sure she used it to clean the area though.
One of the craziest stories of self procedures is when a soviet doctor in Antarctica operated on himself cause he was the only doctor on base and he would've died until he reached the nearest base
Actually, scalpel blades are in individually sterilized wrappers and not too hard to get - it's not being able to sterilize the reusable HANDLE that's more the problem. (Also, the lack of any description of cleaning the surgical field... uhhhhh.......) (For general reference: minor plastic surgeries CAN be done under local anesthesia. Just not. Um. Homebrew lidocaine mix of Extremely Dubious Contamination Levels) (Source: lab tech in toxicology.)
Reminds me of the surgeon who removed his appendix on his own in the middle of Antarctica in the 60s
Yeah, Leonid Rogozov is his name.
Auto-Appendectomy.
that's badass
dude, i'm reading dedede for the first time and i see your pfp. what a coincidence
Bro kept the will to live all to himself, no wonder gen Z is so depressed
The saddest thing about the second story is that woman was perfectly good-looking BEFORE the surgery and she probably would have looked pretty even as she got older. But South Korea puts a lot of pressure on actresses, models and singers to get plastic surgery (this is why a lot of K-pop stars and Miss Korea contestants have identical-looking faces: the surgery is well-established).
The second saddest is that we're so ruined by AI articles that there are academic essays on how she married Bo Biden
Not just famous people. There is a lot of pressure on normal, non-celebrity women as well. Especially now with the current misogyny epidemic in South Korea. You know why Korean skincare and makeup is so good and world famous? Looking good is pretty much required for women, they can get fired from work for not wearing makeup sometimes. There is some pressure on men too but that’s mostly celebrities.
I heard something about a surgery that involves cutting the sides of the mouth slightly to give a permanent subtle smile even when the face is relaxed.

@@frend1220 yeah, sure dude. All the family worked for the duration of the approximately 20 hours this whole thing took. The 6 year old came early because there weren't that many people at the restaurant he worked

the second story is actually so heartbreaking to hear, mental illness can do some horrible things!
I remember hearing her story on a dumb "when surgery goes wrong" kinda show when I was young.. and even as a kid I thought why the hell isn't cosmetic surgery screened better. Like it shouldn't be as easy as going to buy a new handbag
@@RoxZombie Unfortunately there's also the other side of that reflected in the first story, where something can be stupidly considered an elective "cosmetic" surgery and become out of reach for those who can't afford it.
@@Crawfishness yeah I totally agree, it shouldn't be considered "cosmetic" or elected when it's something that's genuinely will improve or help someone's quality of life.
Another thing I've never understood is gender confirmation surgery, there are people who can literally get surgery to become lizards, lions, you name it. Also sis women can get feminisation surgeries like sis men get masculisation surgeries. But for transgender people there is so much politics and barriers and hoops to jump through regarding mental health professionals and even before that talking to doctors that don't understand the mental health side of it to argue your case. I mean when an intersex child is born (with unexpected external sex organs) the parents right there and then can choose to have gender confirmation surgery preformed on a new born that has never been given a chance to decide for themselves if they want surgery or even know what gender if any they feel they are. There is absolutely no sense in it all.
It should be everyone have some level of mental health screening before any "cosmetic" but not to the extreme end of it. Just enough to know whether it will actually improve your quality of life, and a follow up to make your handling it well.
@@RoxZombie When I had my entire face rebuilt all I needed was money. When I wanted my crotch rebuilt I had to have two letter letters from specialist in human sexuality and one had to be a PhD. Because surrendering masculinity is considered a cultural step down and is automatically stigmatized. They say almost nothing against FTM because that’s considered going uphill. It’s all ingrained cultural hatred of women.

@@peanutm9346 Sounds like he's correct though. She ruined her life because of mental degradation (comparing herself to women who got jobs) and was then enabled by a back-alley doctor by teacher her how to inject silicon herself.

She had body dismorphia.
I cut my own cyst out of my scrotum.
It was dormant for about a decade but it started growing again and I decided to act.
It all went smoothly until the end it turns out ingrown pubes had been tangling around the inside around the cyst and they'd all formed a mini dreadlock knotted around a venule or arteriole which I accidentally pulled outside my skin.
I began by using a syringe to perforate it and perform a bunch of small incisions around the cyst until it was the right texture to squeeze it all out. That all went smoothly but then I pulled the hairs which was a mistake.
It was all just under a cubic centimeter in total.
I put it in a ziplock bag and handed it in at a walk in clinic for a biopsy and got some antibiotics.
Too my face the doctor just acted like it was a normal thing to do, but she just told the pathology lab that it burst so she obviously knew it wasn't.
I'm an age carer who does a lot of wound care and was treating stage 3 ulcers every day at the time so my gore tolerance was heightened, I had a lot of medical equipment on hand. Wouldn't recommend anyone trying it but I'd probably do it again.
Oh man, it's crazy what annoyance and not giving a shit will do to you if you want something to just stop existing, huh? 😂

I remember talking to a guy who claimed only men are willing to sacrifice themselves for their family. He was trying to find examples of why "men" are better than "women". Bro, that third story, she literally cut herself open to save her child. Parents sacrificing themselves isn't a "male" or "female" only trait, it's a parent trait. I am so happy she and her child survived.
I had that gynecomastia thing as a teenager. A slightly painful lump right behind my nipple. I figured it was just my luck to get breast cancer as a teenage boy. My doctor explained what the lump was and that it was an occasional symptom of puberty in boys. It did indeed slowly go away on it's own as I reached adulthood. It was often uncomfortable, but not to the point that I wanted to cut myself open to get it out.
Same
I also had it once a while during my early years of puberty, they also gradually went away over time
They make individually wrapped, pre-sterilized scalpels meant for single use, which is what I assume the first guy used.
I accidentally cut a mole on my face half off while shaving, and when I went to urgent care the next morning I hoped they could just finish the job for me... Nope, they just stopped the bleeding and sent me home. I ended up having a dermatologist actually remove it a few weeks later.

I had weight loss surgery (vertical sleeve gastrectomy/gastric sleeve) back in 2019. They cut out roughly 85% of my stomach and have this special machine that both cauterizes and staples it shut. For whatever reason, when I came to the anesthesia had worn off, so I felt every bit of the pain of just having had the majority of my stomach cut out of me. I started throwing up blood, coding and blacking out. I’d regain consciousness, then I’d try telling them how much pain I was in, but they’d assure me I must be crazy, since I was on pain meds. They’d give me nausea meds, I’d puke them up with more blood, code and black out again from the pain. They kept trying to make me stand up. I’d try telling them I couldn’t but they refused to listen. I’d do it, immediately get lightheaded, code and black out. There was on point where my heart stopped for 12 seconds. It doesn’t seem like a long time until you actually count it out. Everything started to fade to black, I felt warm, peaceful, my hearing started to get distorted. Then I snapped back and felt this immense fear and dread, when I saw all the nurses running in. I asked this one lady if I was going to die, as she was frantically undressing me and she just told me they were doing the best they could, which terrified me even more. They tried telling me I experienced “vasovagal syncope” and while I do have that now, after the surgery, I think something went wrong with the anesthesia and I was in such immense pain that my body was attempting to shut down. Don’t regret the surgery one bit and typically there are no issues with it- I had a friend who had the same exact surgery and she reported what most people do- slight cramping, but nothing too serious. I was some kind of anomaly.
Holy shit that's awful.. I've only ever passed out from just pain alone, never had my body try to do all THAT. My case was I had gotten a staple or some sharp object stuck and went all the way through my toe (I was 13 and walking barefoot outside to get the mail). I had to get it removed, but I guess they wanted to give me a gool ol' reality check so as soon as they pulled it out I started feeling it, like i felt the moving from even the inside, like how you feel something sliding down your throat if you swallow it weird.
idk if this will make you feel any better or not, but the nurse responded that way simply because she was SUPPOSED to. I had emt training and we were taught that if a patient ever asks if they're gonna die, we should say exactly that: "we're doing the best we can". This is so we could avoid getting sued
say you wont die and you do? family could sue for giving them false hope and providing a diagnosis you werent 100% on
say you'll die and you dont? sued for mental trauma around the belief they were dying and providing a diagnosis you werent 100% on
saying "we're trying our best" is something that you're 100% sure on, and thus, is the best phrase to use. I'm not sure if the nurse thought one way or another, but doctors/nurses/paramedics saying this does not guarantee that they think you'll die. Very sorry you had to deal with all that though, it sounds terrifying, especially as someone who's terrified of anesthetics
i have vasovagal syncope, that doesnt sound like it. definitely not a peaceful feeling
@@stmslyThe one time it happened to me from drinking some Pepsi, it was miserable. I had no clue what was happening, and I thought I was going to die. Not fun at all.
Weird question, are you a ginger? They apparently are somewhat resistant to anesthesia.
My mom has a similar reaction to opiates, they don't last anywhere as long as they should, and she's never abused them. She's on a lot of psych meds, though.
The path you take to avoid ruin is often the path that leads to it.
As tragic as the model’s story is it’s crazy that it has taken on an urban legend status because of the inaccurate, mistranslated and AI-generated scramble if information. Almost like the slit-mouth woman story.
When I was a teenager I removed one of my moles myself.
I was around 16, it would annoy me so id scratch it. Oneday after it'd scabbed all around the base I scratched at it and it came up more, started playing with it and pulling at it. Hard to explain but it kinda had roots or something, felt weird af pulling it out and off. Never came back still have a slightly odd but jarely noticeable scar. No complications, bled for a little but it weirdly enough eased up bleeding once it was off.
I removed a skin tag with dental floss and a pair of scissors it didn't even bleed and the only thing that hurt was when I pulled the bandage off the next day

Just that no one is brave enough to do anything about it.
Only 1 of the 3 stories happened in America and it's not a particularly horrifying story.
One story is Korean and the other Mexican????
the craziest part about the first one is that it probably could have been covered by insurance as a medical thing if it was diagnosed as a hormone issue that could be fixed with some type of HRT
HRT could have helped it go down *some* but it won’t undo breast tissue that has already grown
the question is what kind of poison was he eating or nutrient deficiency did he have to cause that in the first place?

That reminds me of my former roommate. He once woke up with a lump on his leg and thought it was a boil full of pus, so he decided to cut the lump open himself with a knife. Unfortunately it was a perforant venous insufficiency. In other words, a vein that had twisted and caused the blood to congest there.
Of course, it wasn't a great idea to cut open a vein at your leg. (I mean an ateria would be even more severe, but it was bloody enough!)
I was at home at that time and drove him immediately to the hospital.
I couldn't forget the story for years, especially because there were still bloodstains on the passenger side of my A Class that I couldn't get rid of.
I now have a new car and live with my boyfriend together, but it was a lesson to all of us never to cut yourself even if you think it's just a harmless lump.
There's only one well reasoned self surgery I know, by Leonid Rogozov. He was a MD on a Soviet Antarctic expedition when he fell ill with appendicitis in 1961 and antibiotics wouldn't work. He performed an appendectomy on himself with a couple of helpers passing him instruments and holding a mirror. He used novocaine solution for local anesthesia, pretty hadcore going into one's abdominal cavity.
IIRC there was a woman who gave herself what was essentially buccal fat removal surgery because her cheeks were too big to comfortably fit under a motorcycle helmet. The Internet Investigator did a video on her.
I think I read the original posts on Reddit about her. Didn't she also eat the fat too or something?
Yep, and she even posted pictures.
Ive stitched myself up before, but i seriously couldnt imagine putting myself through any of this. Some people are far bolder than I.
Why did you stitch yourself up?
@bubbashrimp cut myself by mistake, and couldn't afford to go to the hospital to get it done properly. The trick is to use fishing line as opposed to normal thread.
Oo! Oo! I got one!
I had a skin tag the size of my pinkie nail, give or take. It rubbed against my glasses, and was terribly noticeable when I shaved my head, and just generally uncomfortable to have. So I decided to get rid of it. I grabbed a pair of kitchen shears, sanitized them by boiling the blades and rubbing alcohol. My head was already shaved so all I did was swab the area with rubbing alcohol. I cut that skin tag off without anesthetic, took about 30 minutes of slicing away at my own flesh. When it finally came off what followed was an awesome gush of blood that lasted 3 days until I got wise and pressed an ice cube to the wound to stop the bleeding.
I pulled a skin tag out of my armpit once and it left a hole the size of a pencil eraser. No blood at all. Friggin nuts.
I had to remove some barbed wire once and just coated it in honey. Worked beautifully
My Grandma once used silk sewing thread to tie her own skin tag ( which was placed on the upper eyelid), which eventually grew deprived of blood flow, dried up and fell by itself, no blood loss at all.
Pretty impressive I must say, but beware, some bigger skin tags can bleed a lot!
self surgery makes me think of the Reddit post I saw where some chick cut the fat pads out of her cheeks at home to fit in a motorcycle helmet - and yes, she did post pictures

Hang Mioku is possibly the most depressing example of the failure and shortcomings of the vanity surgery industry, as well as the most severe and destructive example of bodily dysmorphia to date. It really sucks that things like this happen.
I did surgery on myself to get rid of an annoying ingrown hair. My dad pulled his own tooth out with pliers, despite having good insurance. I think some of us just like the pain.
I just find it weirdly satisfying.
Honestly, I think everyone does the ingrown hair thing.
I'm not about to semi regularly go to someone else to get then to safely do it when a sharp knife and tweezers can get the job done with nearly no pain and minimal bleeding...
Not quite the same thing but when I was younger I managed to pull a loose tooth with a piece of chewy candy. Though that was not intentional.
I don't think I enjoy the pain I think I enjoy the fact I can do it myself, we dont always have doctors available. Like just in case I HAVE to do something myself, I know I can...
I’ve done surgery on myself for ingrown hairs too. I think it’s a common thing to do. I probably should have done a better job at sterilizing the x-acto blade I used, but I didn’t get an infection.
13:08 jesus christ i just got the worst chills ever THAT SOUNDS SO PAINFUL
The story about Hang Mioku made me sad. She didn't deserve such an awful life. I understand there's crazy societal pressure in South Korea for women to get facial work done to meet impossible beauty standards. It's especially pervasive in the film and music industries. That had to have been a factor in her driving her to such self-destructive behavior.

In June 2020 I got fed up of it and ended up cutting it out with a pair of nail clippers and tweezers. I was able to cut the skin and get around the thing that was under the skin and cut it out. It was about the size of a cooked grain of white rice and was weird. The skin healed up really well and it's not come back since.

Suggestion (not a full video but just a section): the Houston Muffin Man story. It's such a benign story but also so on brand for this channel. You're going to have to find the photos though because it loses a lot of comedic power if you can't experience them, but I cannot find anything with web search.
Do tell
@@SpellboundSpectre So in short, this guy in Houston opened up an unlicensed restaurant named the MuffinMan in the middle of a neighborhood. This greatly angered the neighbors partly because it was unlicensed, partly because Houston had a lot of NIMBY sort of people. The story escalates to the point that people are submitting complaints to the city council constantly. The first climax of the story culminates in an unknown person dumping a shocking amount of stinky fish in the MuffinMan parking lot, causing an even greater uproar from neighbors because the smell of the fish is now genuinely annoying.
At some point either before or after the fish, the owner of the restaurant pivots and decides to embrace the outrage by turning his restaurant into a gay bar, an somewhat lewdly advertised gay bar. He begins serving phallic muffins (which I really hope someone can find photos of) and puts a sign outside to the effect of "a four inch muffin is better than an eight inch cock." When he finally gets called to city council to explain wtf is going on he goes on a rant (which I hope to dear god someone can uncover) and yeah, he loses the case and everyone tells him to stop. But then he sues "John Doe" over the whole shenanigans but the judge says no because you just can't sue John Doe for no reason. You can find some articles from the time for an overview of the whole thing from a local perspective.

Later that year, I had a persistent ingrown toenail. It got to the point where a spike of nail had grown out the end of my toe, surrounded by flesh, it was seperate from the rest of my toenail. I used a knife to slice open the overgrown part of my toe, stretched it open, and pulled out the spike of nail, the toe stayed seperated into two slightly when it healed, so it's never gotten ingrown again.
Then more recently when I was 26, I had a mole appear on my neck, it had started growing and becoming uncomfortable when I turned my neck. I cut it off and grinded it down to skin level using my nail, and ever since it's just looked like a freckle.
That last one sounds an awful lot like skin cancer.
I was up and walking the same day as an emergency c section after 42 hours of hard labor. My baby and I were incredibly fortunate to survive after the hospital’s negligence and I wanted OUT as soon as possible. I never rested afterwards and popped a stitch holding my uterus on the 5th day. I nursed my baby and had bloody nipples. (Very common, it heals fast). Labor, delivery, and breastfeeding are literally a labor of love. Your suffering is nothing compared to the safety and care of your baby. Big props the mama that gave herself a c section, and I hope she divorced her husband.
Oh my! Your story reminds me of what I went through last year. I also had an emergency c section. No anesthesia used neither. So I felt every cut and literally felt this woman’s hands open me up to grab my baby. Before she did this she placed some orange jelly like pad on my belly that was warm.
But I’m so happy things turned out well for my child and I.
Watching this at 1am while feeding my birds.
"If my baby was going to die, then I decided I would have to die, too." girly literally had her own child find her but apparently the new baby was worth more to her 🗿
How dare you call me out for piercing my lip with a safety pin at 15 (still have it, 20 years later, together with a professionally done one on the other side).
As a millennial, my “knowledge” of how to do it was from The Parent Trap, and I’d bet I’m not the only one.
3rd story- I can totally see how slaughtering livestock would help her complete an emergency c section on herself. Without getting too gross, I helped my family butcher pigs all my childhood and we are remarkably similar animals.
I had a patient who was constantly cutting fat from herself until she finally went to deep and died. She came in for revisions to her self inflicted botched surgeries at least 5 times...really sad.
I regularly cut off skin tags and after mentioning it to my friends they can't get over it. They might actually pass out watching this video.
I see now why asian parents tell their children to become doctors
so that they can perform surgeries on themselves without activating bighead mode when failed
As someone who works in dermatology & assists on a lot of surgeries, the gynecomastia story has my jaw on the floor. And it’s only the beginning of the video 😭
First video I've ever seen of yours and I'm obsessed. Ready to binge!
birth pain is enought "suffering" to bring your beloved baby to the world, and deciding voluntary to even do more pain, to save your baby on birth when there is no help... heck. that baby better be omega grateful with their mother forever...
I love the way these stories are presented here most of them my freakishly curious self has already discovered but the twist on narrative and spunk recreates them in a way it's like hearing them for the first time. Thank you!!!!
Episode starts 1:54
Thank you good sir
Thx
🐐
Beat me to it. But thanks.
Yea because fuck supporting Whang, our baby tik tok brains need instant gratification NOW
I find it hard to believe the gynecomastia was considered cosmetic because if it's causing actual physical discomfort, it is no longer a cosmetic issue. He should've gone back to his doctor and reported any changes and new symptoms.
wow late night whang
FEED ME SOME WHANG AT MIDNIGHT
“If ur watching this video that’s probably not you” 15:40 accurate call out lol
Woman #3 is badass. Only thing is, rubbing alcohol wouldn't kill the pain and would likely have killed her.
Im sure she used it to clean the area though.
Got 5:00 in when I "noped" tf out. 😂
Genuinely where i have it paused looking for an alt vid 😭🤝
One of the craziest stories of self procedures is when a soviet doctor in Antarctica operated on himself cause he was the only doctor on base and he would've died until he reached the nearest base
Actually, scalpel blades are in individually sterilized wrappers and not too hard to get - it's not being able to sterilize the reusable HANDLE that's more the problem. (Also, the lack of any description of cleaning the surgical field... uhhhhh.......) (For general reference: minor plastic surgeries CAN be done under local anesthesia. Just not. Um. Homebrew lidocaine mix of Extremely Dubious Contamination Levels) (Source: lab tech in toxicology.)
I better see the Chris-Chan unclit here
That's one self surgery I cannot stomach and personally hope to never hear it described ever again.
