Arrange all implements in an easy to use fashion, get biblically drunk, swing of the axe, cauterise with a blowtorch, jobs a goodun.
I couldn't begin the grasp the amount of pain he must have been in.
Yea he is far from the first person I've ever read about that's done it as well.
I guess it's like toothache in a way, you would rather just smash the tooth out with a hammer if the dentists refused to operate. instead of live with the pain.
I'm not sure I could do it though even in the most extreme circumstances

Need to make my puns less subtle. (but you are correct!)

'I've explained to doctors, psychologists and specialists that if this pain isn't stopped I would remove the limb myself.
'I'm still in a lot of pain. I knew it would still hurt above the elbow but without the hand they have have no excuse to keep the arm'.
FTFY
I doubt I'd have the balls to do anything like that unless I was numb with drunkenness!
