Hypnotist Has Surgery Without Anesthesia
Quote:
61-year old Alex Lenkei recently underwent an 83-minute operation to treat his painful osteoarthritis in his arm. What was unusual about the surgery was Lenkei didn't use anesthesia, but rather put himself under a hypnotic trance to control any pain.
Doctors removed a walnut-sized piece of bone from Lenkei's arm, and was even aware of his surroundings during the operation, when he asked the doctors how things were going while still being worked on. The operation turned out to be a success.
For Lenkei, this wasn't the first time he has used hypnosis for surgery. In 1996, Lenkei was hypnotized by a colleague prior to a hernia operation which lasted only 30 minutes.

I wish I had that kind of self-control. |
