Inés Ramírez Pérez, a 40-year-old (now 52) Mexican woman from the state of Oaxaca, became the symbol of incredible courage when she successfully performed cesarean section on herself in March 2000. She is the only known person in human history to accomplish the impossible task without having any medical training or assistance. It is a testament to her resiliency and grit that Ramírez not only succeeded to save her baby’s life but fought for her own life as well.

The pain was unbearable! She recounted her experience to the reporters and said, “I couldn’t stand the pain anymore, “And if my baby was going to die, then I decided I would have to die, too. But if he was going to grow up, I was going to see him grow up, and I was going to be with my child. I thought that God would save both our lives.”
After hours when she regained her consciousness she used clothes to bandage and prevent the bleeding and sent out her older son Benito for help.
