I realize times are tough out there for lots of people all over the world and they depend on some sort of unemployment benefit. However, dismembering your own body to continue to collect those benefits is a little much. I would think sucking it up and finding a job, even one that might not suit you, is far better than sawing off your foot but then again I'm not Hans Url. The 56yr. old Austrian man was collecting jobless benefits until he found out Monday they would be cut. His former employer had found a new job for him and needed Url to take a physical exam. The exam, if passed, meant Hans Url could accept this new job and be employed again. Url decided this new job did not fit him and his talents so he chose to cut his own leg off hoping he would fail his physical. In a way his plan did work however Url is not doing to well and was found bleeding to death shortly after the home surgery.
His wife told authorities that her husband waited till her and their son left the home and that's when he took an electric knife, cut the leg off, and threw it into a wood stove. Once he realized what he had done Hans Url called emergency crews who arrived to find him in a bloody mess and were able to retrieve the well-done foot. Doctors were unable to re-attach the severed limb. He's in stable condition recovering from blood loss.
