A brand New Use for Cigarette (Packets)

What do you do when you can't afford to return to the doctor to finish off your op.? And what if 'finishing off' means closing the hole the doctor made in you? In China, you work with what you have, so when Rao Jiachung was left with a 7 x 3 inch hole in his torso and no money to get it fixed, that's what he did! He used the silver wrap paper of his cigarette packets to wrap the sterile dressing over the wound/hole. He's 51, and the operation to remove part of a diseased lung was performed in 1998! Here's more info with a better pic of the hole, for those of you still comfortable.
