A woman has carried out do-it-yourself brain surgery in an attempt to cure her chronic fatigue syndrome. The procedure went wrong, and she required urgent medical assistance. Heather Perry, 29, from Britain came to the U.S. to carry out the procedure, which involved drilling a two-centimeter hole in her head. The 20-minute procedure went wrong when she drilled too far and severed a membrane protecting brain tissue. Ms. Perry said: “I have no regrets. I’m the first to admit it sounds totally ridiculous and I can understand the reaction I’ve provoked…but I felt something radical needed to be done.” This one’s in the running for Health Outrage of the year.
