VIDEO | "I did a leg amputation on a 5-year-old girl, and the only anesthesia that we had was the anesthesia doctor singing to her … We were praying for her to faint ... She stayed awake the whole amputation."
During a recent interview, Dr. Mark Perlmutter shared a harrowing account of performing an emergency amputation on a five-year-old girl in Gaza without any proper medical anesthesia, relying solely on an anesthesiologist singing to keep the conscious child calm through the procedure.
Describing emergency rooms overflowing with children missing limbs, the orthopedic surgeon stated he directly appealed to a US senator to urge President Trump to intervene and halt the relentless Israeli attacks.
