An unemployed Bosnian performed kidney stone surgery on himself because he did not have any money to pay medical bills.
Emir Javoras, 29, from Javor, used a razor blade and needle to remove the stones, news agency Fena reported.
Javoras said: "I woke up in the middle of the night in terrible pain, but I couldn't ask doctors to do anything about it because I am poor, have no money and no health insurance. I noticed my genitals had swollen and the pain was enormous.
"The stones had passed out of my kidney and had got stuck in my urinary tract. I cut the skin under my testicles and with the help of a sterilized needle I managed to dig out three stones."
