Brain surgery with a DIY Drill

[Firehorse]

In ukraine a brain surgeon operates with a £30 Do It Yourself drill instead of the £30000 compressed air medical drill normally used because they can't afford it. Can you belive that? I certainly wouldn't like it if they used a £30 drill if I needed any brain surgery :P

offtopic: 1000 posts! Yay!

i seen it on tv
they drilled into the skull to release fluids and it was mank
you could hear the skull crunching ;__;

That is just... strange. I've been to Ukraine and I didn't know the Ukraine was that deprived... you certainly can't tell of your only their for three weeks. o.O

[alexxxxx]

Wow. That's crazy. =/

[Zuar]

That is mad... shouldn't there be laws?

If it worked then I'm sure he isn't complaining, Doubt he's complaining if it didn't work either.

[-:Undertaker:-]

It works though.

[Teyauna.]

Omg. And someone actually let them do brain surgery with that kind of drill?

[jesus]

Why do they use those though?!

[Rarelime]

All you need the drill for is to relieve pressure on the brain from the skull. So a normal cordless drill is perfectly fine. They do a similar procedure in saw 3 using a normal drill.

I hope it's sterilised. That's just incredible.

This reminds me of a picture my DT teeacher showed us.. A man tried to scratch his nose with a drill with dire consequences

Because they can't afford to spend 30k on a proper one in every hospital.

If it does the same job and they use a sharp enough drill bit then great. I bet they don't leave B & Q or wherever they get treated with mrsa like you would leaving our hospitals after a 30k infected drill was used.

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL that is the sorta thing i'd do.

And who said otherwise?
In the ukraine and russia they use vodka for pain relief for many different things including minor ops where proper medical treatment cant be afforded.
