Is this an Amish community? I was reading about how some Amish eschew hospital-based burn treatment in favor of a folk remedy salve called B&W Ointment. Unfortunately many have died using this cream to treat third-degree burns when modern medicine could have saved their lives. You play doctor, and you and your kids get whatever you get!

So if they didn't want medical treatment for their son, how did EMS get involved in the first place?
Or is this another case of "oh shit we were wrong quick make somebody else clean up our stupidity"?

She tried to remove it HERSELF?!
What was the plan there? How did she hope to stitch herself back together, or prevent herself from passing out at the amount of pain she would be in without anesthetics? What is wrong with people?

Yup. As for your question as to how a crazy woman might try to absorb an insane amount of blood...you don't want the explanation that goes along with that. Anyway, to no one's surprise, she died, though I'm not sure if it was from the cancer or her butchering herself.
People are crazy.

I actually remember reading a story once about a woman in the 19th century who didn't want her family to worry, so she went around Europe buying medical equipment and then removed a tumor from her breast. She lived several years after that. Sounded pretty hardcore, like being the only doctor an expedition and talking someone through removing your appendix.
Not something I would opt for if my life wasn't at stake.
