That's brutal....

but the "Surgeons train for years to do this" like is crap, they train medics to do slash and hack emergency jobs in the first year.

I guess when it comes down to it, live or die. Quite a scary choice to make

moral: read the last line of the article.

he was lucky to be alive. could've bleed to death if he did it wrongly. and the probablity of someone surviving another self tracheotomy is low. i would never cut my throat even if i have severe breathing difficulties, because i wouldn't know what i was doing.

He had already had throat cancer- the article almost suggests that he had previously had a trach. Maybe he had a pre-existing scar to hack on or something. Besides, you don't go sawing across your whole throat with all of the blood vessels :D

I found a pic. Let's see how it works. I hate that you can't preview these.

Seems fairly simple, if I choking in the wild on a wholegrain bar. I would it

Well in a " Live or Die " situation we can do incredible things . I am really impressed that this guy actually turned a knife on himself !
