SHOCKING!!! A Chinese Worker Operated on HIMSELF to Remove TUMOR

Due to lack of money for surgery, a 41-year-old worker, who lives in Quzhou city, eastern China's Zhejiang Province, decided to cut down a tumor inside his mouth on himself.

After buying surgical scissors, scalpel and tweezers purchased from the local hospital, Yu Yifei operated on himself in the bathroom and uses his phone for light.

 

 

"Either it takes me down, or I take it down," Yifei told the local newspaper.

 

After cutting out the tumors, which have the size of a Ping Pong ball, he would hold a gauze to the wound to stop the bleeding.

 

At first, Yifei initially underwent surgery after he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer, which was found in his right upper jaw in February 2014. The operation also required the removal of all the teeth on the right side of his face as well as two bones. He then went through 13 rounds of chemotherapy.

 

 

In May this year, the cancer returned. However, Yifei and his wife both have poorly paid jobs and, with a 10 year old daughter to care for, surgery became both impossibly expensive and undesirable. Therefore, by May 20, he removed his tumor on himself.

 

Yu Yifei is not the first Chinese who performed the operation on himself. In April 2012, a farmer whose name Zheng Yanliang from Dongzang village, Hebei Province, cut his leg on himself with a hacksaw and a paring-fruit knife because he was not able to perform surgery at a public hospital in Beijing.

 

These cases show that the health care system in China is becoming increasingly worse.
