More Detail on Ines Ramirez Perez’s Self-Caesarean
Several months ago there was a brief news report floating around, based on an item in a British medical journal, that described how a Mexican woman had performed an emergency Caesarean section on herself using a kitchen knife. I remember talking about it with some folks at the time, but apparently I failed to post it to lies.com. Now an enterprising AP reporter has caught up with the woman, resulting in the following article: Woman describes self-Caesarean.
Eesh.

The story was also covered in the National Enquirer and Reuters. AP reported on it twice. It’s been covered by media outlets from London to Lihuania. A Korean news show had clips from an interview with the mother available online for a time.
The medical journal was the International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics.
There is no mention of the town in which this event occurred, Rio Talea, outside of pieces mentioning this particular story. Hmmm.
