In 1961, something unheard of before happened.
A Russian surgeon who was stationed at the military base in Antarctica had appendicitis.
He was the only Doctor and surgery was the only solution.
Due to the harsh weather at that time, he could not be evacuated.
His name was Leonid Rogonov, he was 27 years.
He instructed the non medics in camp to bring a mirror and light sources.
He injected himself, he opened his belly, put his hand to locate his intestines himself. Used the mirror to located the appendix.
He cut the appendix and sewed himself back together.
This operation lasted 2 hours, it was successful. He took time off to rest and in 2 weeks he was perfectly fine and back to work.
He later died 39 years later of Cancer of the lungs at 66 years.
After Cabo Verde’s draw with Spain, goalkeeper Vozinha has now reached 5.7m Instagram followers from 50k before the game, with the figure continuing to increase! 🤩📈
I promised to show this to my daughter. I was not around, so I sent it to her mum, who explained the various degrees to her. She partly understood because of her dad’s background, and she went through all of them with real interest. I joined them on video call.
She was deeply impressed and challenged, especially by the lady with a PhD in Mathematics. Her class had a tough time with Mathematics last term, and we are currently rebuilding her confidence in that area.
After saying “wow” and making other positive comments, she added that they were all very beautiful. Her mum said, “Yes, they are,” and I added, “Beauty with brains.” That was my only comment throughout.
Thank you for inspiring young girls and women around the world.

This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.
The moment I hear a guy say he’s friends with a girl, I know I do not want to be friends with him.
The kind of diplomacy required to sustain platonic friendships with women is completely lacking in me.
By virtue of our nature, idiosyncrasies, and tolerance for the truth, men and women have no being friends.
More women might throttle their decent relationships with regards if they had honest friends like you
This is exactly how male-to-male conversations goes. Your bro will never lie to you to save your face
Women lie a lot to each other, absolving their friends of accountability.
