A Chinese man has amputated his own leg using nothing more than a saw and a fruit knife, after doctors told him an infection had left him just one month to live.
Zheng Yanliang, 47, was apparently known as his home town?s tough guy even before he was forced to take matters into his own hands.
Suffering from severe arterial thrombosis in both legs, surviving on a diet of ineffective painkillers in searing daily pain, and unable to pay the hospital?s fee for surgery, Zheng was forced into the makeshift surgery.

Good grief! 😱
