Man hypnotizes self before op

Alex Lenkei chose to use the mind instead of drugs as anesthetic. Using self hypnosis Alex claims he was able to block out all of the pain from the surgery while being fully aware. The surgeon David Llewelyn-Clark had no qualms over the unusual request.

However, before you try this on yourself from some internet self help book, Lenkei has been a registered hypnotist since age 16.

Wow. now only if UFC fighters could do this.
