The things you can find on Wikipedia.
Inés Ramírez
Ines Ramírez Pérez is a peasant woman living in rural Mexico. She speaks Zapotec but not Spanish and has no medical training. She 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 and her husband was drinking at a cantina. Rio Talea has 500 people and only one phone, but it was not nearby.
At midnight, on 5 March 2000 — after 12 hours of continual pain and little advancement in labour, Ramírez sat down on a bench, drank from a bottle of rubbing alcohol, and used a kitchen knife to cut open her abdomen.

I still think Hillary is tougher than she is.
Hell, I wouldn’t even be tough enough to have a baby the regular way.
In case anyone is wondering, that is an actual knife. It costs $1,200.
Hell. I wasn’t even tough enough to jog home from my vasectomy. And, I sure as hell didn’t perform it myself.
AND I still wouldnt touch it…
It STILL dont fit in my pocket.
And i have tried a few, and I LOVe my leatherman.
“Drank from a bottle of rubbing alcohol” Up until I read that I thought she was incredibly tough, not incredibly stupid.
One of the nice things about marrying a nurse is she kisses my boo boos after she puts on the bandage.
#6 – Bubb,
The rubbing alcohol made you think that? Not her statement, “I thought that God would save both our lives.” That’s just completely self-contradictory. If god were going to save their lives, why the need for the C-section?
what section was this under DIY?
“One of the nice things about marrying a nurse is she kisses my boo boos after she puts on the bandage.”
I got kicked in the boo boos once.
I got to hand it to women. I can’t even imagine having to push out a child out of a small opening much less cut one out. Wow
I can barely get my mouth around… oh, never mind.
No wonder her man was at the bar.
#3: It even has a laser pointer and a spot light!
pfft, I wouldnt even be tough enough to watch

Ooops I missed that part the rubbing alcohol thing just jumped out at me.
