i can't read the article cause it's paywalled. I wonder if he did the surgery himself or had an accomplice


If he implanted it himself, that would imply impressive surgical skills

Does it? Seems like being able to cut and stitch yourself is the hardest part.

Funny story, I dealt with a pylonidal cyst on my tailbone by myself. I did not expect that much blood tbh (along with very stinky puss... sorry for the detail), but I managed to drain and clean it.

Apparently you need surgery for those... it really wasn't that hard, cutting in was the hardest part, but at that point the pain from it was worse.


It's pus, not puss. What you wrote could give a false impression.


You're right, my mistake.

I do hate it when cats come out of infected spots.


"After questioning by the college officials, one official reportedly said that he had a skin-coloured micro Bluetooth device fixed in his ear by an ENT surgeon, reported Hindustan Times."

This happened in India. The student was caught with a mobile phone, which in turn led to further questioning.


The surgery was done by an ENT (ear, nose, throat) surgeon. I'm not sure if it was within the ear or not, as the device was "skin coloured", though that may be because of how thin the ear's skin is.

just don't take their javascript


There's an "I'll try later" button that removes the register/login prompt.


The article doesn't seem to say for sure, but it implies it was done by someone else.


When you hit a paywall you can try 12ft.io website just past a link in the box and it removes the paywall. It works for most paywalls.
