"A former soldier cut off two of his gangrene-ridden toes with a pair of tin metal pliers without anesthetic in his living room after becoming frustrated at a six-week delay to being operated on by the National Health Service (NHS)."
[...] "He says he eventually developed gangrene and his doctor said his infected toes would have to be removed. Rather than wait six weeks for the operation, Dibbins took matters into his own hands.
He says the operation, performed without pain killers and in his living room while biting on a rolled up towel, took about an hour. His wife of 40 years was in the house but says she did not want to look.
“Knowing that it would take at least another six weeks to get me in front of a surgeon again, that’s when I bit the bullet and cut off the toes,” Dibbins told the North Devon Journal.
“I did it because it’s what had to be done. My doctor told me my toes were going to kill me."

I would find (pay) a person to assistant me.
The surgery would be performed like this:
- Swallow morphine tablets or inject morphine liquid (gotten from a doctor).
- Wait till morphine kicks in.
- Tell assistant to put me to sleep by MMA Rear Naked Choke Sleeper Hold.
- While I am knocked-out, Assistant quickly cuts the toes off using a well-made sharp tool.
- Job is done.
