Is this a useful first aid technique? Like for Aron Ralston, who was trapped under a rock and had to cut off his own leg to escape: would it have reduced his pain if he had stabbed himself in the shoulder to the bone? Would this best be done with, say possibly, acupuncture needles or an ice pick, so as to minimize the damage and to maximize the relief? Gunsmoke TV episode: Doc: Well, Billy, we'll have to amputate your lower left leg - it's shot plumb thru with gangrene. Billy: Will it hurt, Doc? Doc: Hell yeah, it'll hurt! But thanks to Hacker News we have a new pain treatment: every time you yell. Chester here will stab your right leg to the bone with this h'yar ice pick. And Mary will hold a leather strap in your mouth so your teeth don't crack off! Don't forget to breathe. Billy: I'm obliged and grateful to be part of your research program, Doc, but can't you instead just wait 10 minutes while I drink this here quart of whiskey and pass out? Then you can do as you wish. Doc: Hell, no, time's a'wasting! Hold him down, fellas! Doctorin' progresses only a step at a time!
