Wow! It takes ALL KINDS!

ABC News right now is talking to people who have the desire to have limbs amputated EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T NEED IT!

They talked to one guy who actually put his legs in a trash can up to his knees, filled it with dry ice until they were frozen solid, then drove himself to the hospital using the hand controls his car was equiped with (he was prepared!).

Percetly healthy guy, but he just had this overwhelming desire to have no legs!

In three days his legs turned completely black and had to be amputated

They've talked to a bunch of people that have the SAME desire!

my uncle had to have his legs removed at the knees due to cirulation problems a year ago. these people are sickos, and they should hope to be amputated from the neck down.

So now this guy, after his legs are gone says "Yeah, in hindsight I think I was probably metally sick"

REALLY?!?!?! YOU THINK!!!!!

Oh, but he still has an urge to cut off his left hand!

CRIPES!

I don't know if that was rerun, but I saw a show a few months ago about the same thing. They talked to one guy that tried the ice thing but about 1/2 way through, couldn't stand the pain any more so just ended up deforming himself and didn't get the job done.

I didn't watch the whole show, so I don't know if that guy was on. But the one that DID go through with it was disgusting. They showed his legs after 3 days and they were SOLID BLACK, completely dead and decomposing!

He was a science guy so he had figured exactly how much dry ice and how long he would need to be submerged to completely freeze the legs all the way through.

I mean really, WHAT THE HELL! Why, if you had this "urge" wouldn't you TALK TO SOMEBODY? Go see a shrink!

Oh well. He's the one that has to live without legs now.

Yeah, the one I saw, a couple of them did talk to doctors about it and asked to have the limbs amputated. Of course the doctors wouldn't do it so that is when they resorted to doing it themselves.

RIGHT! That must have been a rerun. So wouldn't you think the doctors would have an ethical responibility to have someone talk to these people?

Like in the ER, if you tried to kill yourself you don't get to just leave, they do a psych evaluation on you.

Seems to me someone saying "Hey doc, I want you to cut off both my legs just because" would be reason for a psych evaluation

And you learn a lot hey? I think i could sedate myself if I needed to! And I could do my own stitches! I might even be able to remove my own gall bladder if I had the instruments

I saw a behind the scenes show on it once and they were saying they have two actual medical people on the show just to make sure they are showing things as they are really done.
